Skurvi

Skurvi is a Brighton-based group. It forms around Liam “The Ortonator” and Jimmy “The Jip”, who start the band after drinking together and deciding to make music as an outlet. The project first appears under the name talentless, before the name changes to Skurvi.

Line-up

The original pair bring in Jack on drums and Perry “The Perry-scope” on guitar after placing an online advert. The resulting line-up is a quartet: Liam, Jimmy, Jack and Perry.

Style and early development

The group develops through rehearsals in a practice studio, with the members playing bass, drums and guitar. The band’s early material is in progress at this stage, with songs being developed rather than fully documented releases listed in the available information.

Background

The group’s origin is presented as informal and alcohol-fuelled, with the members initially talking, drinking and messing about before deciding to form a band. Their name change from talentless to Skurvi follows rehearsals and a growing sense that the line-up works musically.
