Supralunar Release New Video ‘Supralunar’

Louise Swift 28 August 2015 Press Release

Swedish Beatle-esque rockers Supralunar released a brand new video today for the eponymously titled track ‘Supralunar’ from their critically acclaimed album ‘A New Hope’
(Dead End Exit Records /Sound Pollution).

The video makes fun of rock cliches and the band finds themselves reluctantly messing up a hotel room.

The video is very toungue in cheek. Three pretty well-behaved boys try to live up to their rocknroll image. As much as we love the cliches of rocknroll and are a part of them you need to step aside and laugh at it says lead singer and guitarist Petri Tuulik.

The magically empowered hobo that made the bands acquaintance in the first video ‘People Like Us’ (available on YouTube) has now made a career for himself as the bands manager.

The idea for this video came out of pure coincidence.  The band got a quite unusual request to play a gig at 9 o clock in the morning. The venue was a  hotel room in one of Stockholm’s fancier hotels and the audience 40 Germans who were on a guided hotel tour. Since the band had access to the room the day before in order to set everything up a crazy idea was born…..”Hey, what if we could actually shoot a video in a few hours?“. With great help from a few friends they managed to shoot most of the video in 10 hours and also probably set the world record for the worlds quietest videoshoot.

The screenplay and directing is done by Supralunar’s lead singer and guitarist Petri Tuulik and a good friend by the name of Herman Hillberg handled the photography.

Supershort bio:

Supralunar was formed 2010 in Stockholm, Sweden and has since then released the EP “Unzip To Rock!:EP” through Cdbaby in 2012. The band has played about 100 shows in Sweden perfecting their very entertaining and varied liveact. They have also put out 3 videos which got the attention of Swedish label Dead End End Exit records and early 2014 the deal was inked. The full length debut album “A New Hope” was released worldwide in January 2015

About Louise Swift

I first went to a gig in 1981, Gillan at Leeds University. I've been a regular gig goer ever since. I haven't kept count of how many gigs I've been to over the intervening years, but it's a lot! My favourite bands are AC/DC then, in no particular order, Anti-Nowhere League, Slaughter and the Dogs, Towers of London and Dirt Box Disco. I tend to like Glam/Punk and rude offensive lyrics, not sure what that says about me but as Animal would say 'So What!' The question was recently put to me - did I write for any online publications? My reply - No, but I'd like to! Planetmosh was suggested and I found myself offering to review Aces High Festival. Easy peasy I thought! Well not quite, if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well! I had sixteen bands to research. I found I actually enjoyed that and it kept me too busy to be making lunatic comments on Facebook! ;) Then I felt a bit inadequately qualified. I mean, who am I to comment on others, when my musical expertise extends to being able to play a mean Greensleeves on the recorder and a passable Annie's song on the flute! Haven't picked up either instrument for years! What I do have, however, is over 30 years of experience as a gig goer, so I can comment on what I like and what I don't! It's only my opinion and, if I don't like a band it doesn't mean they are bad, just not to my own liking. I admire anyone who has the guts to get up on that stage and have a go!
