PRESS | Bryce Clifford

Clifford fronts his new band, "Brother Superior" in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada) serving up his brand of melodic indie-rock, with "rueful and acerbic lyrics and bar room scarred vocals" (NOW Magazine)

These musicians bring with them influences of blue-grass, classical, honky-tonk, old school soul… name it - you might hear it.

That said, a 'Bryce Clifford & Brother Superior' set is dominated with driving melodic rock songs that get stuck in your head, are played with joy, and have a touch of nostalgia that feels right and hits home. You’ll be surprised by the unexpected directions it will take you and musical pictures it paints, often filled with dark texts.

Bryce has released two albums, three Eps, and his music has been featured on MTV, CBS, The Syfy Channel, Bravo Canada, The CW, and renowned Austin indie-film "Here We Are".

Clifford bounces between Hamilton Ontario and Austin Texas, his creative feet planted in two artistically inspiring cities on both sides of the border.

The live sets flow from indie-rock, to downtempo balladry, Wilco-esque-americana, and revved up echoes of new-wave & post-punk bite.

It’s apparent that Bryce continues to make his musical landscape borderless in style, and heavily focused on ‘the song’.

"The emphasis is placed on Clifford's strong lyrics and hooks at the heart of his songwriting. He has no trouble winning over audiences on the strength of his originals. With a second Downeast tour in less than a year, he's proving to be a road warrior as well. You gotta support that.
