SUPe

Originating from Japan, in 2002 these "Tokyo transplants" took up residency in Los Angeles to pursue the world's stage. Supe (pronounced "shoop") is a post-hardcore rock band with energy and an exciting live show. In 2005 the band caught the attention of platinum selling producer Sylvia Massy Shivy (Tool, System of a Down) who produced their EP CD "Grow in the Cold" which garnered one reviewer to write, "Supe are nothing but hard-hitting riff mania with splendid melodies...

hey're coming at ya like a 5-ton tanker." Kaj Roth, Melodic.net. Grow in the Cold is filled with walls of crunching guitar, amazing power and passionate vocals - displaying all the range and styles of Breaking Benjamin, and Thrice. This six-song EP features the sure-fire rock radio hit Shade and live favorite Good Face. Supe is Kihiro on vocals, ARI on ESP guitar, takeshi on PRS guitar, Toru on bass and RyoZ pounding the drums. Have no fear; they may have Japanese names but this truly an all-American band with a world-wide audience. [From Supe @ MySpace]
