Suburban Sound Machine are Surrey’s Blur to the Sleaford Mods Oasis. Playing upbeat indie with an edge, they focus on having fun and engaging their audience. Although the band has influences from early Britpop bands like Pulp, they also take from the likes of Madness, Ian Dury and Yard Act. Despite this eclectic breadth of influences, they manage to put a distinctive ‘Suburban Sound’ on everything they do. Their songs are catchy with driving bass lines and lyrics you can singalong to that poke fun at middle class suburban life.
Despite being old enough to be their parents, the band is largely follewed by 18-25 year olds who enjoy the live show and the ironic take on Suburban England.
