In Earnest

in earnest is fuelled by the dual songwriting of couple Sarah and Thomas in a bid to encourage open and honest conversation around mental health. Their storytelling is a dialogue from two perspectives. A call from one who feels too much and a response from the other who must plead for them to stay alive.

Hailing from Southend-on-Sea, in earnest is made a trio by the inclusion of instrumentalist Toby. With influences ranging from alternative rock to folk, the band propel forward with their own brand of emotion-infused, genre-bending indie.
