My friend Charlie has two sons, both of whom are drummers. Casey is in The Magnificents and his younger brother Jake (above right) is in The Very, a two-piece outfit who are getting a lot of attention these days. I saw them at the weekend and was impressed. Tight playing, tons of energy, and some good songs. They've been compared to The White Stripes - presumably because they are the only other guitar/drums duo anyone has ever heard of - but The Very's music has its roots in punk, while The White Stripes sound a lot more more blues influenced to me.
