Superbird, a funky Prince-influenced band!

Superbird - Cola Bottle F... - YouTube

Surprised this band isn't more popular. These guys got style!

I actually saw this band supporting the UK based Prince trbute act Endorphinmachine earlier in the year. They were good fun!

Too much posing and (i hate this word but fits perfectly here) 'cringy' to look at, plus just cheap sounding music with a bad singer. Not surprising this band isn't popular.

Ah, I forgot they did that! Sweet. Would love to see 'em but they haven't been far outside London yet.

You may not like the singer, but he is objectively a talented vocalist. And they will be far more popular in a few years. Mark my words

I don't know.
There "quality" just screams Casey Rain with the same kind of cheap amateuristic look, sound and feel that's not for me. I doubt anyone will know about them in a few years.
Cringy poser stuff isn't my kind of thing.

Tried to like it, but couldn't. Groups like DAG and Chromeo did this style much better.
