This from their website:

The Superkings are a five-piece band hailing from Lancashire (bandmembers make their homes in Manchester, Preston and Lancaster). This spread of location is reflected in their range of influences, from Nick Cave to Paul Simon to Pavement to Neutral Milk Hotel, which results in a sound not easily categorisable. People still try of course, with phrases such as "bitter slow country-rock" and "upbeat piano-punk". Genre doesn't really bother the Superkings though, over the three years of the band's existence they have tried to simply capture what excites them about songwriting and performance and use it to create songs that range from the raucous to the melancholy. The band consists of the traditional guitar/bass/drums element of indie bands but adds a piano, violin, cello and keyboards to the mix. Having become live favourites in their hometowns they now plan to start spreading the word further afield. They have recorded an EP, entitled Secret Chiefs, which is available at gigs and from the website and collects eight songs from their current setlist.
