Suzerain (Band) Are a five piece Rock Electronic Band formed in 2008 in and around South London UK. SUZERAIN were wowing crowds and winning hearts at London’s best venues for over 4 years. An alternative rock band with a punk edge, they produce (according to Subba-Cultcha.com), “High octane New Wave rock, delivered with aplomb”
Since forming in 2006 they’ve gigged tirelessly across London. The influential promoters Feedme Music describe them as “Probably the finest act we have seen since launching” and this reputation for being a first-class live acts has got them a raft of very good gigs along the way – Wireless Festival, IndigO2, Koko, The Garage, Scala, LA2, 100 Club, Camden Barfly, and Clothes Show Live to name a few and playing to a crowd of thousands in Trafalgar Square during Pride 2009. They were named the Best UK Alternative Act at The Metro’s prestigious Indy Awards "Suzerain (who seemed to have filled the entire venue with their fans) snatched the Best Alternative Act [1]
Their sound has been variously described as ‘New Wave Rock’’, “Electro Indie Disco’ and even “Electro-band revival, reborn with a new contemporary sound.” Guitarist Rich Summers explains the band’s musical ethos, “Our aim was to produce the most awesome danceable rock possible. We used to hang out at Indie clubs like Trash, seeing people like Erol Alken each week, that was a big influence on us.”
Having established themselves as ones to watch on the London circuit, SUZERAIN set their minds on spreading their influence further afield. As well as earning themselves an enviable reputation across the UK, they are also making excellent headway in Europe - gathering fans and achieving industry interest after a string of high profile dates including: headlining Angra Rock Festival in the Azores, as well as playing a host of European festivals includeing NRJ in the Park (Munich, with Franz Ferdinand and Bloc Party, Reeperbahn_Festival Hamburg, Rock in Roma, and Boccadilo Festival Sicily.
The band were signed to Czech / London Label Brainzone for their second Album "Identity" and supported Berlin based band
Livingston October 2014. A Follow up Central Italian tour was completed in 2015 and the
Brighton Great Escape Festival.
