The Supernormals are the creative brainchild of Sara and Johnboy, who whilst living in London for six years penned over 80 original tracks.
Using break- beats and samples to create their phat edgy sound, they soon realised they needed to take their sound live, the Supernormals hence were born.
Today the Supernormals are a hard working seven-piece band committed to gigging regularly locally and nationally and performing all their original material.
