The Perics is an indieband formed in 2020 by Matt Warren, Gee Nelson and Gwen James. Matt Warren is a UK based power pop singer songwriter. Gee Nelson and Gwen James are two Dutch musicians who are also members of the rockband Animal Revolt.

During the worldwide lockdown Matt and Gee met each other at Instragram. After a couple of chats about music they decided to collaborate together on a song. One night, listening to Paradise by the dashboard light, Gee came up with the idea of a song about a man and woman whose relationship is at the end of the road. He asked Matt to be the male part. For the female vocals he had Gwen James in mind. She's also the co-composer and vocalist in Gee's other rockband Animal Revolt. The result was ‘Do you really care?’
After the recording sessions they decided to work on more songs together, hence the Perics where formed.

The name is derived from the Dutch word 'perieken', a made up word for proles or the lower class. It was used in a dystopian book, written by Gee, where he invented a future language.
