"Sunshine or Rain"

This song was inspired by time Warabe spent as a child at Summerhill school and life beyond. The song reflects on the past as child growing up at Summerhill and how as children we made changes & how as adults we need to continue to make changes to make a better world.

"Jamming @ George's"

This song came from the very first jam that George, Sure & Warabe had at George's house. This song defines PeaSoup and we just can't stop!

Welcome to George's house! We're gonna jam on hard at George's house!

"Fly Again"

Lately it seems like we're drifting apart, sorry if I ever did you wrong. Did my best but maybe it wasn't enough, if this love is to end you'll Fly Again, Fly Again!

Fly Again

"Sorry Babe!" (I won't do it again!)

Sorry babe was first written and recorded at Summerhill school (on Susumu's double tape cassette player) in the late 80's by Warabe and his good friend Susumu when they were still students.

Since PeaSoup was formed Warabe introduced the song to the band and the band has embraced the song and turned it into a what it is today. 

"You better run, I'll shoot you down. Run I'll shoot you down" 

(Chorus line by H.Readhead)

"Are You Feeling it"

Are You Feeling It

Introducing "PeaSoup" 

The band consists of George on drums, Sure on bass, Toshi on guitar & Warabe T on vocals/guitar.

We're a band based in the United Kingdom performing original materials that span across, Blues, Funk, Soul and much more. 

The band formed in 2022 after the members met at Summerhill Festival of Childhood in the UK. 

The band started as a casual jam between George, Sure and Warabe in autumn 2022 which eventually developed into PeaSoup. In spring 2023 Toshi joined the band and is now a perfectly cooked "PeaSoup".

We hope you'll enjoy our music.
