Bryce Clifford & Brother Superior serve up their brand of melodic indie-rock with "rueful and acerbic lyrics and bar room scarred vocals" (NOW Magazine, Toronto).
​​
Currently fronting a powerhouse band in Hamilton Ontario, Bryce's music marries the introspective storytelling of folk with the restless energy of indie-rock. The result? A sonic landscape that shifts effortlessly from propulsive rockers to down-tempo ballads, all carried by his signature razor-sharp lyricism and a voice steeped in hard-earned experience along his artistic career.​
​
CBC arts journalist Bob Mersereau, and author of 'Canada's 100 Best Albums', takes notice: "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."

A Bryce Clifford & Brother Superior performance 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.

Live sets are a journey - one moment channeling a Wilco-esque pulse, the next echoing hints of new-wave, moving seamlessly between indie-rock grit, piano-driven melancholia, and alt-country twang. His band makes unexpected detours into honky-tonk, old-school soul, and even classical. Name it - you might hear it. At the core, the band remains deeply committed to ‘the song’—a careful balance of structure, spontaneity, and pure feeling.
​
Clifford’s music has resonated far beyond the stage, earning placements on CBS, MTV, Syfy Channel, Bravo Canada, and The CW Network.
With three albums and three EPs, his work has garnered comparisons to great musical storytellers like Springsteen, Elvis Costello and Tom Petty — artists who embrace both melody and meaning.
Clifford bounces between Austin Texas and Hamilton Ontario Canada, his creative feet planted in two artistically inspiring cities on both sides of the border.
Bryce continues to carve a singular path, offering a sound that is borderless in style. Whether backed by Brother Superior or alone with his '78 strat, his music stays with you—sometimes brooding, sometimes raucous, but always deeply human.
