The relationship between you and your favourite band is very special. For some that means spending ridiculous amounts of money on merch, eventually looking like a bit of a fool in your 15th Blink 182 hoodie. Others it's all about a follow on twitter and screaming for a selfie. Some fans insist on being keyboard activists for their favourite artist, ultimately causing a stir and embarrassment for all involved (believe me, I've been told to kill myself by an Avril Lavigne fan).
My favourite band is the Brummy four piece Superfood. My relationship with them includes many photos, instant song recognition and seeing them play live three times within the space of ten months. I was lucky enough to interview the band and really enjoyed their company, something that should stay with me for a fair few years (Until the point where I interview Kanye West and my mind turns to jelly).
Therefore you could imagine my huge excitement when three of the biggest things that could happen in a band's career all happen on the same day. First of all NME announce that Superfood along with Honeyblood will headline the 'New Blood' tour which is coming in late November and early October. Then on Superfood's soundcloud a completely new tune was released, Lily For Your Pad To Rest On is a Happy Mondays-esque freak out with off the wall lyrics and a solid drum beat to excite any retro fan. Probably most important is the release date of their new album 'Don't Say That". The album, released on the 3rd of October, may be one of the biggest and best releases of the new wave of Birmingham indie washing over the UK. I personally hope this album is more successful than even Royal Blood who are on track to dominating the charts for another week.
