SUPERSEED (Friday 27th June) GUEST SUPERSTAR! 8PM!

FFO: Queens Of The Stone Age, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, MC5, Sex Pistols.

Superseed crashed into existence in Bristol, England in early 2017, a five-man juggernaut fuelled by the triple-engine roar of singer-guitarists David Edgar Ben Taylor and Dan Armson. Backed by the thunderous pulse of Matt Colley on drums and Keith Bowers’ bass laying down a filthy groove, this hard-rocking wrecking crew delivers a sonic gut-punch that demands attention. New album TREMOR will be released via Savage Magic Records on Friday 1st August 2025.

5 piece band: 3 guitarist/singers, 1 Bass & 1 drummer/singer
