VI.BE

SUPERGENIUS is a melodic guitar-band that draws influence from indie and punk bands spanning the last three decades of alternative music.

It all came about during the summer of 2014, when Vince, Ed, Mich and Wim, got together with the intention of making something a little musically different to that of all of their previous, and existing bands. (Notably: Rise and Fall, Hitch, Oathbreaker, Blind to Faith, Wiegedood and Beecher, amongst others.)

After only 5 jams, in December 2014, the band recorded a 4-song, 12” EP, which came out via Golden Antenna Records on vinyl and digital. A limited cassette tape version of the EP was released by UK label Palm Reader Records. The release show for the EP would also turn out to be the band’s first live performance, in July 2015 in Ghent, Belgium. They continued to rehearse and write music over the course of the year that followed, playing a selection of club shows and festivals along the way.

‘Supertired,’ the band’s first album, was recorded in summer 2016, and was released 07/04/2017, through a collaboration between Hypertension Records and 9000 records. It was recorded by Hein Devos at De Kreun in Kortrijk and mixed by Jack Shirley (Oathbreaker, Deafheaven, ...).
