Superfood - You Can Believe

Today (3rd November) sees the release of the debut album by Superfood. They are from Birmingham, and are led by the charismatic frontman, Dom Ganderton. The debut album is called "Don't Say That". Superfood are definitely the definition of a band that makes "indie" music. It feels like a long time since I heard that sound, but when I came across the track "You Can Believe" I appreciated it straightaway. The first thing that you notice is that the song is really danceable. It's reminds me of an amalgamation between The Stone Roses and some of Beck's early material. It's a really anthemic sound, with a really powerful chorus. If it hasn't been used for a compilation of amazing goals that have been scored there is a person from a TV company who is really missing out on something! Dom Ganderton has produced tracks for other bands around Birmingham who have gone on to success, such as Swim Deep and Peace. It is an interesting scene that is coming out of Birmingham, which has a definite link to Manchester's sound. Superfood are definitely adding to it. You can't be a scene without a number of successes and it definitely feels as if they will be one.
