SupaLung is a new indie-rock outfit composed of singer-songwriter Sam Brookes & multi-instrumentalist, producer Pete Josef.
The duo met some years back on the burgeoning Bristol music scene; being fans of each others work they ended up becoming great friends. Brookes was actually helping Josef build a studio athis home when they decided it was time to combine their love for songs & making records.
Brookes was ready and armed with a vibrant bunch of demos that Josef felt would make an adventurous and exciting debut album.
The name Supalung is inspired by and pays homage to Terry Reid aka superlungs. One of the UK’s finest rock singers from the mid 60’s.
The group describe their upcoming music as joyous, melodic and experimental. In their own words: “We wanted to draw from all of the great music across time that we love and put it into this album. The keystone was Joy - if it didn’t make you smile, send shivers of excitement or fill your eyes with joyous tears then we double-backed and started again.”
“Making this album was a real joyous adventure but the real excitement now is releasing the music and playing live shows. Throughout making this record the excitement about playing these songs live continued to inspire us to create more music. We cannot wait to connect with people at gigs and festivals.”
The groups debut single, ‘Pleasure’, wads released on the 21st April on KiAn Records.

Blair has now cemented his place as one of Britain’s most exciting songwriters and performers. 2018 Blair saw the release of his 4th album ‘Notes From An Island’ on his own label to rave reviews.
Iris Lyre
Iris Lyre are an Indie Electronica // Alt Pop // Indie Jazz duo from Bristol, UK creating soulful alt-pop tracks with an innovative and groove-laden live-looping setup.
2023 will see Iris Lyre releasing their debut concept EP, Internal Weather System.

Internal Weather System takes a nuanced approach to the tricky conversations that surround living with chronic illnesses and auto-immune conditions.
Weaving heartfelt lyricism and soulful vocals with uplifting pop hooks, lush piano arrangement and soundscapes of found sounds, their debut record tells a personal story of working towards a blossoming self-acceptance, celebrating all that you can achieve, even during the most intense stormy weather felt in the mind and body. https://eartrumpetmusic.co.uk
