A Breakout Anthem for a Rising UK Rock Band

“Ordinary Boy,” the explosive new single from The Entitled Sons, cements their status as one of the UK’s most exciting indie-rock bands. Raw yet anthemic, the track blends emotional honesty with driving energy, earning its place as the underdog anthem of the year.

The song arrives at a crucial moment for the group, fresh from selling out their October O2 Academy tour, and looks set to become their biggest hit yet.

Industry Recognition and Growing Buzz

Broadcaster Chris Evans has hailed them as “epic”, warning: “The Entitled Sons are coming to get you. Arenas beware.”
Meanwhile, Glastonbury’s Lisa Pickering recalls their live power: “One of my all-time favourite Glastonbury moments. They could have charged everyone’s phones for the entire festival.”

The acclaim doesn’t stop there. DJ and promoter John Crow described them as “one of the most surprising acts I’ve seen in a very long time,” while Lee Martin, founder of Lakefest, praised their “unbelievable talent.”

A Song That Speaks to a Generation

Released on August 29, 2025, “Ordinary Boy” delivers lyrically raw storytelling. It explores insecurity, pressure, and the struggle of not fitting into society’s stereotypes. With soaring vocals, stirring instrumentation, and a defiant chorus, the track resonates as a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt underestimated.

In the band’s own words:
“This single is for every kid told they’re not enough, every kid who’s ever felt underestimated or boxed in. We wanted to shine a spotlight on the pressures that weigh heavily on young people, blending vulnerability with defiance in a way that feels both personal and universal.”

From Family Chemistry to Rock Authenticity

Part of what makes The Entitled Sons stand out is their unique line-up: four brothers — Laurie Swift (drums), Raffey Swift (guitar), Charlie Swift (vocals), Billy Swift (keys) — alongside their father, Graham Swift on bass. The family dynamic adds an undeniable chemistry and authenticity that shines through in both their studio work and their high-energy live shows.

What’s Next for The Entitled Sons

“Ordinary Boy” marks the band’s fifth release of 2025, leading into their hotly anticipated debut album No Clue, dropping on November 28th, 2025.

Looking ahead, 2026 promises to be a career-defining year, with major headline shows already booked at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire and O2 Academy Bristol. Their rapid rise, backed by sold-out tours and industry praise, suggests The Entitled Sons are on the fast track to arena stages.
