Backstory:
Sentimental Function was formed in 2015 in the heart of Manchester, United Kingdom. The group was made up of four college friends, Jason Reynolds (lead vocals), Ben Parker (guitar), Alex Thompson (bass), and Ethan Hunter (drums). They bonded over a shared love of music, often jamming in their dorm rooms and writing songs to escape the monotony of exams and assignments. Their connection was palpable, and what started out as catharsis soon transformed into a serious pursuit. Sentimental Function started playing gigs at local venues, slowly but surely building a following of dedicated fans.

Their breakthrough came in 2017 after self-releasing their debut EP, which caught the attention of influential music blogs and radio DJs. The critics praised the band’s ability to create music that, while rooted in a particular genre, transcended it to reach a wide audience. Sentimental Function’s sound evolved over the years, blending their initial influences with a modern edge, resulting in a compelling, unique style that has set them apart on the music scene.
