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.
Since
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
full length album ‘Presents’ and 3 Singles with Gavin Glass at Orphan
Recording Studios.
Recent
singles ‘Whistleblower’ and ‘The Jerry’ have gained airplay on Roddie
Cleeres Irish Muisc Show, Ceol Anocht with Martin Bridgeman and
Transmission on KCLR, Locals Only with Gavin Glass on Radio Nova, The
Noisy Plug on Dublin City FM and the feather in the cap of an OFCOM
complaint on numerous grounds after the promo video for ‘The Jerry’
being aired at 4pm on a wet Tuesday afternoon on Keep It Country TV.

in the Inches’ is the third offering from their Orphan Recording
