“There's definitely something poignant in the Supersonic set up, as you stumble through the dark tunnels to find smiling faces, nodding their heads to the latest incarnation of krautrock, or looping, hypnotic electronica. I'd recommend it for any music fan...”- Secret Chiefs 3, Electric Wizard, a.P.A.t.T., Part Chimp, Mike Watt, Bardo Pond, Lucky Dragons and DrumEyes help Rockfeedback’s Josh Daniel lose his shit in the Midlands.
