Background

The Entitled Sons first formed in 2022. They and their parents, Graham Swift and broadcaster and entrepreneur Sarah Beeny, were featured in numerous television documentary series. From 2020, they were featured on the Channel 4 series Sarah Beeny's New Life in the Country. On creating the band's name, mother Beeny said: "When they were talking about a name they realised that because of the TV show some people would think they were entitled, whether that’s true or not. So, they went with it and called themselves The Entitled Sons, which I thought was great."[1]

Career

2022-present

The Entitled Sons' debut single, "Break", was released on 20 January 2022.[2] The single was first publicly performed live at a pub, which was shown on the Sarah Beeny's New Life in the Country programme. Within a few days, the single reached the top 10 on iTunes.[3] A second single, "Unconditional", was released in March 2022, and is about their mother. The Entitled Sons then released "Heaven Knows" on 5 January 2023.[4] "Criminal" followed in February 2023.

In early 2023, the band competed in the Pilton Stage competition,[5] a contest that provides up-and-coming bands and solo artists of any musical genre from all around the UK the chance to compete for a performance slot at Glastonbury Festival. The Entitled Sons won the competition, alongside joint winners The Autumn Saints.[6][7] The Entitled Sons released the single "Not Invited" in April 2023.[8]
