Forget supergroups: meet Superworld, a San Jose, CA based math-rock/screamo band with a new single as the band preps for live dates with The Startling Line.

"‘Locked Room’ started as a years-old song that came to life in the studio with Jack Shirley. This studio session was even the first time we had seen each other in about a month,” vocalist Brandon Holder says in a press release. “Jack pulled a great performance out of the band. The lyrics are personal, and the vocals were a one take performance. We knew when we heard it back that it didn’t need a second go."

The band released the Surefire EP earlier this year (Lauren Records) and includes members of Spy, Leer, and Stickup Kid.

It's been 3 days and i already have the first half of the album memorized. I don't think we could've … Read more
