Beneath The Big White Moon

Soup Review are what happens when South Yorkshire meets South Coast, when folk tradition meets anti-folk downbeat self-deprecation. Chris Delamere is the son of a morris dancer. Mario D'Agostino arrived in Sheffield from Weymouth, via art college, with a love of DIY culture, anti folk music and a collection of recipes from his family restaurant. Together they write songs that masquerade as comic, but on closer listening reveal themselves to be a deep and poignant exploration of the human condition.

The 2018 debut album, From The Bed To The Settee (and Back Again) was the corner stone to their distinctive song writing and music making style. Soup Review live gigs have included freshly prepared soup as part of the ticket price, with an audience review conducted during the show. The combination of wit, wordplay and narrative draws us into their world - the music is quirky and even whimsical as they celebrate and elevate the everyday and the banal through their preoccupations and anxieties in a way that we can all recognise and appreciate, as they negotiate their way through awkward family occasions, drunken nights out, father and son relationships, family history and dodgy landlords. This collection of songs are an attempt to 'make the funny parts funnier and the sad parts sadder'.
