Jay Sommerville (Born 4th August 2000); Is a British drummer for the band Foxhole based out of Devon.

Jay started playing drums at 12 when his music teacher first showed him how to do a basic 8 beat on the drum kit in school and has been trying to best himself day to day ever since.

Joining a few school bands in secondary school, he eventually found a serious band in college called Malmenor, which he was with for around 2-3 years and also recorded a few songs in the first parts of University. After the bands eventual break up due to band members moving away, Jay included to go to University; He ended up in Fortune Favours The Brave and also Minor Offences in the space of a week, quickly building up a reputation in both bands in being a drummer that incorporates simple, punchy drums and also very intricate double bass metal patterns when needed. However due to personal reasons. He has left Minor Offences in early October 2019. He also does session work for friends from time to time and helps record demo tracks for singles. After he left Fortune in Early 2021, he joined Foxhole as a permanent member in the band, committing fully musically and critically, helping create and alter existing songs to sound the best they can.
