The album is described by the band as “Dynamite Rhythm & Blues” and features Molly Duncan from Average White Band and guest vocalist Tommy Blaize from the Strictly Come Dancing Band.

There’s an unashamedly retro feel to ‘Get Hip’, which features a collection of covers chosen because they are quality classics that have stood the test of time and happen to sound amazing when given the full-on Supercharge treatment. Albie Donnelly has been performing live for forty years and he knows how to pick a set of songs that are both fun and accessible; ‘Get Hip’ proves that and then some. As he says, “These songs are the real deal, we’re not talking about creating art or making a profound statement, these are great songs that swing and make people smile.”

Albie Donnelly was a founder member of Supercharge in 1974 and forty four years later he is still handling lead vocals and tenor sax duties for what has always been one of the most revered live acts on the circuit. Veterans of iconic music venues like the Marquee Club and the Nashville Rooms, Supercharge were signed by Richard Branson at Virgin, and even opened for Queen at their 1976 Hyde Park Festival. ‘Get Hip’ is just the latest chapter in the Supercharge story and is set to win them yet more fans, crack a few grins and get people moving – and surely the Strictly Come Dancing connection can’t hurt there!

Founded in Liverpool U.K.1974, by sax-player and singer Albie Donnelly, Supercharge started out as a very innovative and also unique band. After the first album "Between Music And Madness" (sic.) the band was signed by Virgin Records. With Producer "Mutt" Lange they came to really big success in Australia ("Local Lads Make Good" went gold) and also had a big triumph when opening for QUEEN at the Hyde Park for about 100.000 spectators.

Beeing dropped from Virgin during the Punk-era - the band went back to the college-circuit, where their "mad" (that's a mild expression) show caused a sensation.

Next step was the "invasion" of Europe - at that stage the band (members: Gaz Gaskell, Bob Hardy, Mick Kearns & Stephen Grant - left later to form JUKE) hooked up with manager "Memo"Rhein. He took the band after extensive touring to the "high society" - Tina Onassis' wedding (Groovers In Paris), Parties for Gunter Sachs at St.Moritz and Adnan Kashoggi were the highlights of those years.

After the Juke-part had left for it's own dark destination - Dave Shepley and John "Fat Ted" Lewis helped Albie to convert Supercharge into a serious part of 1990's Blues-scene. European tours with CHUCK BERRY & B.B.KING took the band back to stadiums and big concert halls.

The next line-up with Nashville keyboard-player and singer Greg Barrett showed more of a soulful (and sometimes quiet) side of Supercharge, you can listen to some music of that period on the album "Big Blow".

With the beginning of a new millenium - Albie decided to bring back what had achieved the most success in the past years - strong and powerful Rhythm'n'Blues.
