Bio
Formed in May 2008, Suplex The Kid are one of the most exciting bands to come out of the fertile Glasgow music scene. Citing a love of Post Rock and garnering comparisons to Explosions In The Sky, Suplex The Kid are already challenging their sonic heroes, with their increasing reputation leaving comparison redundant. Prolific as well as perfectionist, Suplex The Kid have released an eponymous début album on Monograph Records, recorded a single with legendary Mogwai producer Andy Miller, and are already putting the finishing touches to their second album. The Kid's début album gained internet notoriety for its epidemic spread, being played on radio in America, Portugal, Italy, Hungary and Australia, and from receiving over 4000 downloads from rapid share, blog sites alone. Word of mouth has made this one of the true underground Scottish success stories of the last year. "locked on post-rock, leaving you breathless." Rick Fulton, Daily Record "The phrase from a whisper to a roar goes some of the way to describing Suplex The Kids shifts from chiming crystalline guitar motifs to face melting howls of primal feedback". Fake DIY.com "This is a nightmarish, thought-provoking record that I'd recommend others listen to." Mathew Slater - Ark Magazine As multi faceted musicians Suplex are able to mine a wealth of different styles, leaving audiences transfixed by their ability to wring different emotions from their arsenal of effects. Utilising pianos, violin bows, reverb, delay and distortion for their climactic soundscapes Suplex The Kid are staking ownership of Epic sounds and imaginative recordings Named after an ingenious wrestling move it is only a matter of time before you will be "Suplexed "too by their music. -

10 of 198More"Escape the city" is a brilliant piece of work. Not that the rest of your music is less than that. Really happy I bumped into you guys, I'll keep my ears open for more songs of yours. Greetings from Greece.
Good set in Tut's last night guys - pity you weren't higher up the bill...
Hi.
Hello Suplex The Kid, May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. So charmingly silky, your skin is like a teardrop on a popsickle. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. I keep searching for you between the cushions. The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes.
Hey,How do you do?
Hi,my friend.Was it a lovely day yesterday?
Hello,How do you do?
