Soup Review – ‘Stars In Their Eyes on SSRIs’

November 6, 2020

Sheffield, South Yorkshire, is known for its gritty musical tradition, which fuses RnB, soul, British Folk, and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Think Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, Joe Cocker, Def Leppard, Reverend And The Makers, ABC, The Human League. It’s brisk, no-frills, no punches pulled; smart and witty, with songwriters who don’t suffer fools gladly, and who don’t hesitate to use irony and sarcasm, along with a dark humour, to get their point across. Soup Review, with their new song, ‘Stars In Their Eyes On SSRIs’ are a fine example of a Sheffield band, with their front and centre melodies, and formidably intelligent lyrics.
