Sarpa Salpa - 'Somebody'
Sarpa Salpa start 2022 in style with their huge synth/guitar driven singe ‘Somebody’. Hope you are ready to put your indie-club-night shoes on!
‘Somebody’ follows October release ‘Your House’ which saw plays from Jack Saunders on BBC Radio 1 - and they have certainly taken it up a notch. Kicking you straight in the face with some big synth melodies and guitar licks that scream that vintage Killers vibe meets Head Automatica. ‘Somebody’ is made for those late night beer dripping band t-shirt wearing Red Stripe driven dance moves.
With consistent radio support through lockdown followed by the success of their last release, the band capped off 2021 with ahuge 15 date headline tour across the UK which included sell out dates in Manchester, Glasgow, London & Newcastle, rounding out a year that also included a handful of summer festivals which included support slots with Ash and McFly and a prestigious slot at the Sound City Festival.
With their next tour kicking off in February and a spot at SXSW in Texas in March, 2022 looks set to be a massive year for Sarpa Salpa.
