Superpowerless is 20 year old electro artist Oliver Hindle from
Leeds (England). In Oliver’s own words, Superpowerless is ‘Game Boy-fueled adventure-core’ but is probably easier to describe as video-game influenced electro-pop with pop punk guitar. He started out playing drums for a number of small high school pop-punk bands, which never got to gigging stage. He then learned guitar and started writing solo songs while playing in bands with friends. Oliver was then introduced to electronic music which would influence his musical direction.
