SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM NOW AVAILABLE @ iTUNES, SPOTIFY, AMAZON, BEATS MUSIC DEEZER, RDIO & GOOGLEPLAY !!!!

Back in 2008 Semper Fi burst onto the Glasgow metal scene as a fist pumping, sonic head-banging five piece with something to prove. Speaking back in 2009, Monthly Metal @ The Vale said; “Semper Fi were first up and a fine noise these guys made, multi-textured and powerful. Forty five minutes passed like 15. The fans still wanted more.”

Now afteryears of gigging, competitions, line up changes, bloody noses and a blood alcohol level that would impress Odin, the wait is finally over. Our debut album has been manufactured and is ready to be unleashed.

The natural home for this 10 legged beast has always been on stage, in front of a live audience and it shows. Some bands merely adopt the live show, Semper Fi were born and raised in it, they thrive on it and have taken their first trip out of the wilderness to deliver one of the most explosive yet focused debut LP I’ve heard in a long time.
- Mathew MacArthur, Anton9 Experience, Album Review

PEACE MIX 2012 REGIONAL WINNERS

BBC weather girl Cat Cubie joined rock band Semper Fi as the group won the Glasgow round of the Peace Mix Relay: a nationwide initiative to promote peace and unity amongst young people through music supported by the Big Lottery Fund (BIG).

Judge and weather girl Cat Cubie said: “ We felt that Semper Fi encapsulated everything we’re trying to achieve with peace mix. They are an exceptional raw talent with bags of potential that a publically funded music studio can support and develop. We were blown away by the proffesionalism of their song writing.”


PEACE MIX FINAL, EDEN PROJECT 2012

"A six piece with an aeroplane’s amount of energy, Semper Fi were a refreshing dose of rock, to wake the audience mid-evening and mix things up. Frontman Paul Burns adds a big dose of Maynard James Keenan, while their groove reminds of Clutch, with a metallic edge ala Killswitch Engage. Theatrical, slightly camp, plus even tighter since Scotland, Semper Fi were brilliant – converting a fair few grime kids in the audience to the complex sounds of metal." - Peace Mix Judge.
