Bent

Based from the sheriff-friendly town of Nottingham, England, the duo of Simon Mills and Neil “Toe nail” Tolliday fulfilled as housemates and shaped the flippantly picturesque Bent — an organization earmarking a full page approximately an early on morning Air along with a less cacophonic Bentley Rhythm Ace. Sonically, the band’s principal influence boils right down to getting disillusioned with home music and hoarding mounds of poor records. Lo-culture examples accessorize jazz, rock and roll, and hip-hop pulses using a heady feeling of ironic piss-taking while adolescent game titles just like the perverted “Welly Best Mary” supply the indication of the band endeavoring to resurrect majesty in also probably the most risible of resources. By 2000, Bent released their sleeper — and warmly received — debut record, Programmed to Like, which helped pave just how for the music group getting a nomination for Greatest Newcomer at the same year’s Muzik Awards.
