Beef Supreme are an alternative roots rock band, birthplace - Carlow, Ireland.
The Beef Supreme sound dances between gritty rock, alt country and protest folk, delivered with intensity and passion. Musically influenced by the likes of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Queens of the Stone Age and The Pogues, lyrically leaning towards Karl Marx's hatred of the bourgeoisie, their ever expanding catchy rock crossover set builds year on year.

their original formation in 2009, Beef Supreme have released 2 EPs
‘Dark Air Balloons – A short escape of Death and Debt’ and ’Live at the
Waffle Lodge’ recorded with Cliff Dean at WL Studios, 1 self-recorded

Recording Studios and returning to WL Studios to record new single 'The Flair'.
