The XCERTS in Brighton

The XCERTS are a Scottish alternative-rock trio formed in Aberdeen in 2001 by Murray Macleod and Jordan Smith, later joined by drummer Tom Heron. Their catalogue includes the albums In the Cold Wind We Smile, There Is Only You, Hold On to Your Heart and Learning How to Live and Let Go, as well as songs such as “Shaking in the Water” and “Feels Like Falling in Love.” The XCERTS toured the UK with Manchester Orchestra early in their recording career and later opened arena shows for Biffy Clyro. Their own headline tours have concentrated on clubs and theatres, while their festival appearances have included Download Festival and 2000trees.
