SuperGlu is a name certainly not one to be sniffed at! Here we have an instantly infectious pop-punk quartet that certainly deliver on the music anthem front. Hailing from Manningtree, Essex (with a mere 907 other people), they dropped their new single ‘Forever Endeavour’, last week (4th October) to much acclaim, which is not really surprising when they have already played at SXSW Texas, USA and appeared at Reading, Leeds + Latitude festivals.
SuperGlu are Ben Brown (guitar/vox), Krista Lynch (bass), Ben Ward (drums) and Alex Brown (lead guitar) and their ‘Forever Endeavour’ single is an addictively upbeat track with euphoric harmonies, but has a darker meaning lyrically, longing for the excitement and promise of the past few years. The nostalgic video showcases the ‘good times’ and echoes the band’s longing to return – watch it HERE.
Lead singer Ben explains; “The band had stopped making music and my girlfriend Krista (and bass player) was preparing to move to Berlin. I was at a low point. As I sat in my house strumming the chords and singing the verse, I heard Krista singing a potential chorus whilst packing upstairs: “Remember the good times” seemed to summarise it all.” Ben added “This is a love-letter from me and Krista to both SuperGlu and one another – a swan song we thought no one would hear has found new meaning and bought SuperGlu back to life.”
SuperGlu formed in 2015 and released their debut EP ‘Horse’ in 2016 and have since built an avid following for their vigorous punk-pop sound, with support from Huw Stephens and Annie Mac at BBC Radio 1, Steve Lamacq at BBC 6Music, John Kennedy at Radio X and BBC Introducing.
They have set out on a 10-date UK tour, which includes an appearance in Brighton on Monday 14th October at The Hope & Ruin on Queens Road with support coming from Demonstrations, Saving Throw and Nagasaki Dog with doors at 19:30 and finishes 23:00. So you get to see no less than four bands on the night and it only costs £7 including booking fee. Tickets can be snapped up from HERE or your usual ticket agencies.
