Take a sonic escape to sun-drenched beaches and coastal cafes with Tom Besley, aka A Band Called Tom’s debut EP ‘I Don’t Know What it Feels Like to be Cool’. The third single and title track of his latest EP, distils the Leeds-based artist’s modern blend of indie surf-pop/rock effortlessly, as he voices the anxieties that inevitably manifest themselves in newly formed relationships. This feeling of unease is expressed in Besley’s fast-paced lyrics and racing guitar, set against a backdrop of busy, snare-heavy percussion

A Band Called Tom ‘Coconuts (On Cloudy Days)’ is a joyful surf-pop/rock track, which captures a sense of persistent optimism. Despite Tom not being able to surf and being currently based in Leeds, he did grow up on the south coast of the UK and this influence shines through his music.
