MEEP! Nothing better than being creative in the hum drum life. So welcome to our musical innards. We are currently cooking up some more avocados for the next ep.
A core theme within our new "Me E.P" is everyone's struggles with mental health. We've documented this in our blog and our opinion is that the dark times can be turned into something creative. Our new Ep is living proof of this as we met out demons, shook them by the hand and the songs on this EP Came out. Find out more about the songs here.
We’ve made no secret of our own mental health struggles and how music has been one of the biggest and most powerful coping strategies for us. How it turns you into a survivor and not a victim.
One of the worst parts of anxiety & depression is that are they both an Invisible Illness. You may look fine on the surface, but you are having the fight of your life on the inside. Your “difficult” behaviours may be taken at face value as just that. And people judge you. And people who haven’t experienced it will never get it. And people not talking about it doesn’t help either. The Stigma, The Stigma, The Stigma.
Well, fuck that. I am not ashamed. I’m a survivor. Because of music. I am not keeping quiet and bottling it up like a “real man”. Because if we don’t talk about it, we end up thinking we have to battle along alone. Or end up having to battle it alone.
They say that anxiety and depression are a symptom of fighting a battle for too long.
The Supermercados are all about turning adversity into something creative. I’ve certainly always been doing this to one degree or another. I have a huge amount of songs, from just small ideas, to half-finished songs, to more complete ones. I have volumes of (mostly dreadful) poems and aphorisms.
Looking back at a lot of them, a lot of them are awful. Some of them are shocking. Some of them are profound and some of them are angry, frustrated, fed up, sad, happy. But they are all real. And they have all helped me work through “stuff”.
We hope that the songs and themes in our new "Me E.P" will help you too, in any way at all. Find us everywhere via the links below.
