“Supe Rocks!”…that’s what you’ll hear from those who’ve seen or heard this LA-based aggressive rock band. But it doesn’t stop there. Supe (pronounced ‘shoop’) has a surprise. The band is Japanese. But there’s nothing foreign about their music. Cut from the same cloth as Breaking Benjamin and Hoobastank, Supe is nothing but all-American hard rock.

Having relocated to Long Beach, California in 2003 these five guys have been busy perfecting their sound and live shows across the US. With the 2006 self-release of their successful six-song EP Grow in the Cold, produced by Sylvia Massy-Shivy (Tool, System of a Down), Supe launched their first US tour with 50+ dates from coast to coast.

Then in 2007 the EP was picked by Buddy Records in their native Japan and a subsequent homecoming release tour followed to eager fans. This landed the band on the covers of various rock in-country rock magazines and a feature on MTV-Japan.

Back in the US Supe launched a follow-up tour and released their single Shade to radio. The EP sold in excess of 10,000 units prompting a full 11-song follow-up CD with the support of Buddy Records in Japan as well as the US partner Activate Entertainment.

With the 2008 release of 2nd Place To None, producer Massy-Shivy took the band to new levels by adding the ballad Perfect Libra to the mix of rock anthems like Do I Care and Eclipse. In support, Supe took to the road hitting over 65 cities in the U.S. and Japan for their Summer Rocks 2008 Tour with several stops on the VANS WARPED TOUR.

As the New Year began Supe could be found touring with (hed) p.e. across Japan and then quickly jetting to Taiwan and China to join mega-rock band Story of the Year for a series of dates. Supe will be home in the US this summer for a much anticipated tour before heading into the studio to work on their sophomore release.

No matter where they are, one thing’s for sure…Supe Rocks!
