New Generation Superstars
New Generation Superstars are a hard rock band from Nottingham, United Kingdom, active since 2007. They release music on Underdog Records.
Sound and style

Debut album
Their debut album, Crash Course in Rock n Roll, is a key release in their catalogue. It is recorded in four days and features production by Alan Smyth, who is nominated for a Grammy Award and is known for work with Arctic Monkeys. The album is issued in 2007 and receives international attention and reviews.

An invitation to play City Showcase in London adds to their live profile.
In 2007, Kerrang! Magazine gives the band a five-K live review and describes them as “serious hope for British rock”. Classic Rock Magazine also includes them on the cover CD Sons of Guns 2 after a worldwide competition.
