Super Consumers is a five-man alternative rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Form in early 2007, the band exists in its current form as Ron Sansone, Matt Sutin, Eric Bergel, Ryan Procini and Andrew Sutin. The band’s debut EP, Terrorism, was released in July 2008.

OFFICIAL BAND BIO

Formed in 2007, Super Consumers began as an acoustic duo, born out of Ron and Matt’s mutual love of 90s alt rock and beer specials.

After gigging around the Philly and NYC bar scenes throughout the beginning of ‘07, the duo became a full band, creating a distinctive sound centered around deceptively simple sounding guitar riffs. The band cut its teeth gigging around Philly before hitting the studio to record its debut CD, “Terrorism” (now available on iTunes).

Filled with driving rhythms and pointed commentary, “Terrorism” holds the mirror up to cultural excess. The album toys with issues of control and addiction (both chemical and technological), while staying rooted in rich guitar rock. Recorded at Studio Crash in Philly with producer Michael Harmon, “Terrorism” includes such playfully titled songs as “Say It With Me Now: BODEGA” and “Other Uses for a Lightbulb” that grind out a heavy helping of musical kickass.

On January 24, 2009, Super Consumers played the Trocadero Main Stage in Philadelphia with ByrnMawr and Bayshore Drive. With an attendance of over 1,000 people, the bill was one of the largest all local shows ever hosted in the city and a record for the show’s promoter.
