I bought a rescue dog and I called it Misery And its a happy life if it ends in tragedy And if you want a ride I can't take you too far I was thrown out of the band cos they said I never gave enough (Oh boy don't give up playing that guitar) Please don't walk away before I get to tell you why I love you in every way but now its time to say goodbye Face down at the disco and the rest is all history And on the phone to grandma cos she gives me all her sympathy (I was young and foolish what a time that was) And memories they die if you never ask her while she's home And there's nothing on your mind till you realise you're wide awake at night reliving every...

about

Not to be fooled by the name, Misery is R&B wizardry, a strand of futuristic swing-pop with a cosmic piano melody and stabs of deep bluesy guitar. Described by T-Mr.9, who leads on vocals (with the Supremes-inspired harmonies courtesy of SuepLord), as “A love song disguised as a song about loss. It's about cherishing the things that matter but it's also about having the courage to say goodbye. I wanted every line to tell its own small story with different characters. They're all a bit lost but I feel like they work out what to do in the end.”

As a band, SUEP create oddball car-boot-sale pop with a sprinkle of theatrical storytelling. Misery is their second instalment, following on from the much hyped "perfect pop" (Marc Riley) Domesticated Dream. Led by SuepLord (Porridge Radio, Garden Centre) and Brain Wastefield (UK top model), SUEP is borne out of a near-decade of wearing silly clothes and playing music together.

After relocating from Brighton to London, the pair added GN (The GN Band, Joanna Gruesome, The Tubs), Freakin' Deacon (PC World, Garden Centre), and T-Mr.9 (Head of Pastoral Care) to the line-up. They take turns writing songs and taking lead vocal duties, but manage to create a coherent world of playful collaboration. Their songs take the listener through haunted castles, deprived encounters, days lost to the imagination in bed, and through the integral friendships that give SUEP the energy to keep dancing to their own beat.
