Originally a 4-piece cover band, Linda's Nephew was formed after Jaime, James, previous members Matthew Bunnage and Tom Allerton met in a music lesson at St. Peter's Secondary School, Huntingdon. The band's current incarnation was formed towards the end of 2005.

2006 saw the band being featured in the Radar section of NME and the band's song 'Not Enough Forward Planning' earned the honour of being Steve Lamacq's demo of the week on his 'In New Music We Trust' show on BBC Radio 1 [Cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/innewmusicwetrust/stevelamacq/tracklistingarchive.shtml?20061009| title= http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1 - In New Music We Trust Tracklisting |accessdate = 2006-10-09]
