There are several bands called Soup. Currently, the most popular is a post-rock band from Trondheim, Norway, currently signed to How is Annie Records, and noted for the albums Come On Pioneers (2008), and Children of e.l.b. (2010). The band has, to date, largely been a one-man project by Erlend Viken, who has written all songs and performs all instruments. Soup’s live performances include Erlend Viken on the keyboard/synthesizer, Sverre Leraand on drums, Rune Leraand on the bass and Ørjan Lunde on guitar. Another were a punk rock group from Northern California. They released an EP titled “Cruel and Unusual” on David Hayes’ Very Small Records record label. They were also the very first band to play the infamous Gilman St. punk club in Berkeley, California. In London, England in the late 90s there was an all-woman soupergroup [sic] by this name featuring ex-members of Sidi Bou Said, Joan, Frantic Spiders and Salad. They were popular on the north London circuit and recorded one 6-track CD before disbanding, although in 2006 they reformed for Bradstock Festival in Dorset.
