The Entitled Sons
The Spiel
The Entitled Sons are unique family project consisting of four teenage brothers and their Dad! Charlie Swift (Lead Vocals) Rafferty Swift (Guitar) Billy Swift (Keyboards & Synths) Laurie Swift (Drums) Graham Swift (Their father, on Bass) The Entitled Sons are one of the UK's most exciting emerging rock bands. Made up of brothers Billy, Charlie, Raffey and Laurie, alongside bassist Graham Swift, the Somerset five-piece have built a reputation for electrifying live performances, sharp songwriting and a sound that effortlessly blends anthemic indie-rock with emotional honesty. Since forming in 2022, the band have gone from winning the Pilton Stage Competition and performing at Glastonbury Festival to selling out headline shows across the UK, including London's iconic O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire. Their debut album No Clue marked a major milestone, showcasing the band's ability to balance infectious guitar-driven singles with thoughtful, mature songwriting. 2026 has seen the band continue their rise with appearances at The Great Escape, a nationwide record store tour and festival performances across the UK. Their latest single, Epitaph (Not There), produced by Fred Abbott (Noah and the Whale), represents their most ambitious work to date. Written about the loss of a close friend, the track explores grief, guilt and the moments we wish we could relive, revealing a depth and vulnerability that signals the band's evolution as songwriters. Praised for their explosive live energy and genuine connection with audiences, The Entitled Sons have earned support from BBC Introducing, Radio X, Virgin Radio, Clash Magazine and national press, while building a rapidly growing fanbase both in the UK and internationally. Still fiercely independent and driven by a passion for writing songs that matter, The Entitled Sons continue to establish themselves as one of British rock's most compelling new acts.
