About
Born in 1965
“Born in 1965” is Cusapepi’s nostalgic, blues‑rock tribute to one of the most transformative years in modern music. Written in February 2024, the song was inspired by bassist Sarge’s birth year and the cultural explosion captured in the book '1965: The Most Revolutionary Year in Music'. It reflects on the sounds, stories and seismic shifts that shaped a generation — from rock revolutionaries to social change, from the rise of new voices to the birth of new ideas.
Musically, the track carries Cusapepi’s signature style: melodic guitars, warm blues undertones and a reflective, cinematic feel. It’s a song that looks back with affection while standing firmly in the present, honouring the music that raised them and the music they’re now creating as a band.
Born in 1965 is more than a nod to the past — it’s a celebration of legacy, influence and the timeless power of rock.
