Sonic Undermind are no more but lasted for an epic 3 years between 2001 and 2004
They were what one promoter described as a "high-octane new millennium rock band". The press called them "truly unique" and "brimming with intense nervous energy"
"People at the front began to cheer support before, during and after the songs, recognising Pete as a new rock icon with kowtowing and "we're not worthy"-ing" Unsigned Showcase Magazine
The Sonic Undermind has been called many things including as a cross between The Darkness and The Streets and cross between Joy Division and Nirvana. Their songs are based on the tight funky groove of the rhythm section set against their blistering heavy guitars. On top of that is the enigmatic (and sometimes downright odd) Pete Hefferan on vocals.
"Frontman Pete gave a stimulating otherworldly performance...I'd scribbled down 'they've created a monster'" Linda Serck - BBC Berkshire
"This is a great introduction to the innovative and original sound that these guys have made for themselves, you won’t be mistaking this band for anyone else." Josaka
"Musical ability coupled with some quirky, memorable tunes is usually a successful combination for bands" Unsigned Showcase Magazine
The band ws made up of Pete Hefferan on vocals Nikhil Hardy and Mike Hefferan on guitars, Sam Cops on bass and Rob Bloomfield on drums. Mike and Sam are now in Joey Ultra, Pete is with Pete and the Pirates and Rob is with Does It Offend You, Yeah?
