SuperGlu
SuperGlu released their brand new single, ‘Simmer Down’ via Antigen Records on April 28 as a highly anticipated taster for their forthcoming EP ‘Fig’, released later this summer.
SuperGlu performed multiple official showcases at SXSW 2017 in Texas, including Huw Stephens & Steve Lamacq’s showcase at the British Music Embassy. The performance will be broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music. SuperGlu’s EP ‘Fig’ will features the full version of ‘Simmer Down’ along with live favourites, ‘Weekend’ and ‘Dreams’.
With hooks stickier than their name, best to think of SuperGlu as national treasures in waiting. A regional champion disco-dancer, a reclaimed boat dweller, an abstract painter and a proclaimed pesto addict form a band. It’s the stuff of make believe, but the true story of Suffolk’s SuperGlu, aka bassist Krista Lynch, drummer Ben Ward and brother guitarists Ben and Alex Brown. Since forming in Manningtree, Britain’s smallest town just two years ago, the punk-pop group have built a reputation as one of the UK’s best emerging live acts with a gift for hooks and harmonies.
Unsigned, their self-released music has achieved over 150k streams and their Spotify profile attracts more than 20k monthly listeners (currently peaking at 46k). Consistently supported by Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, the DJ and presenter helped confirm the band as headliners of the BBC Introducing stages at 2016’s Reading & Leeds Festivals. Subsequently their performance and interview from Reading went out on his Radio 1 show and the live version of single ‘Dreams’ was BBC Music’s Thursday Tip on YouTube in November 2016.
