Derry four-piece Susie Blue have announced their new single ‘People Like Us’. A powerful indie-rock track it contains a strong message challenging intolerance and hatred in society, particularly in the form of homophobia.

Young, passionate and fuelled by their love of writing and performing music, Susie Blue consists of Susan Donaghy (lead vocals, rhythm guitar and synth) and three friends, John Goodman (drums), Caolan Moore (lead guitar) and Mark Doherty (bass).

The band has come together following Susan’s early solo releases under the name Susie Blue such as ‘Trust Me’ and ‘Guess The End’ which also dealt with issues of sexuality, love and hope.
