SupaLung a firecracker of a four-piece that’s quickly becoming essential listening—and witnessing—for fans of live alt-indie rock with depth, joy and groove. Fronted by the hauntingly earnest vocals and sharp songwriting of Sam Brookes, and co-piloted by multi-instrumentalist and producer Pete Josef, SupaLung is not just a band—it’s a moment, a feeling, a sonic hug with the heart of a drum that kicks.
On stage the songs burst to life with the craft of some of Bristol’s finest musicians Rhydian Evetts on keys, Samuel Fox on Bass & lap steel and Simon Small on drums.
Together, they form a tight, dynamic unit that crafts lush, four-part harmonies with a therapeutic touch, grooves that ripple through the crowd like musical aftershocks.
A SupaLung gig is less a performance, more a communal exhale—heartfelt, soulful, and irresistibly danceable.
A chance meeting in Biblos, Bristol’s legendary wrap joint. Pete had heard whispers—some demos Sam was tracking with a mutual friend—and introduced himself. The musical chemistry was instant, but it would take years, and some hard days labouring first (literally—Sam helped Pete construct a home studio), before the creative fuse truly lit. When it did, the result was a body of songs as bold as they were beautiful.
Armed with a batch of vibrant demos from Brookes, Josef saw the potential for a debut record that wouldn’t just turn heads—it would leave hearts spinning. And thus, SupaLung was born—a name paying homage to late-’60s rock powerhouse Terry Reid, affectionately known as “Superlungs.”
Now, with momentum building and another full-length release slated for 2026, Sam and Pete are deep in the studio trenches, crafting the next chapter in what promises to be one of the UK’s most compelling musical journeys.
Catch them live now—before the venues get bigger and the secret gets out.
