Reviews and Comments
Not to be fooled by the name, Misery is R&B wizardry, a strand of futuristic swing-pop with a cosmic piano melody and stabs of deep bluesy guitar. Described by T-Mr.9, who leads on vocals (with the Supremes-inspired harmonies courtesy of SuepLord), as “A love song disguised as a song about loss. It's about cherishing the things that matter but it's also about having the courage to say goodbye. I wanted every line to tell its own small story with different characters. They're all a bit lost but I feel like they work out what to do in the end.”
As a band, SUEP create oddball car-boot-sale pop with a sprinkle of theatrical storytelling. Misery is their second instalment, following on from the much hyped "perfect pop" (Marc Riley) Domesticated Dream. Led by SuepLord (Porridge Radio, Garden Centre) and Brain Wastefield (UK top model), SUEP is borne out of a near-decade of wearing silly clothes and playing music together.
After relocating from Brighton to London, the pair added GN (The GN Band, Joanna Gruesome, The Tubs), Freakin' Deacon (PC World, Garden Centre), and T-Mr.9 (Head of Pastoral Care) to the line-up. They take turns writing songs and taking lead vocal duties, but manage to create a coherent world of playful collaboration. Their songs take the listener through haunted castles, deprived encounters, days lost to the imagination in bed, and through the integral friendships that give SUEP the energy to keep dancing to their own beat.
