Super Best Friends TV Episode 4
"Super Best Friends & the PM's Approval Rating"
***SUPER BEST FRIENDS presents 'READY AIM FIRE!'***
New sounds and six new tracks featuring Ready Aim Fire!, The Monkey Is The Man (both played on Triple J's 'SHORT. FAST. LOUD') and Everything's Fine.
"This is a spiky, in-your-face debut from Canberra outfit Super Best Friends. As punk goes, it well and truly delivers, with frenetically-paced three minute gems backed with blistering drums and guitars... After listening to this sparkler a few times, you get the feeling that Super Best Friends would 'go off' live. With such a chaotic, immediate sound, how could they not? It's quite a heavy sound with a strong focus on drumming, but Super Best Friends also utilise some rather unexpected techniques, which keep the music fresh and interesting... The standout track would be Red Stars and Dollar Signs, a scorching number with a great structure that chronicles political upheaval from the Russian Revolution to the Berlin Wall. Like most punk albums, this one benefits from repeated listening. But what's not to like about these wee fellows, except that, of course, they're from Canberra? But that's all in a day's work, or in this case, a night on the tiles. Give them a hug. And hope they don't smash your face in."
(Renee Tibbs - Beat Magazine)
“I’m digging that quite a bit at the moment. They’re a young band out of Canberra, three dudes going by the name of Super Best Friends...”. (Stu Harvey, host of Triple J's 'SHORT.FAST.LOUD' on 'Ready Aim Fire!')
"‘The Monkey Is The Man’ opens the CD by SBF, guaranteeing them a favourable review from this humble writer. They are a band from Canberra (yeah, I know!), who can’t decide whether they want to be a thoughtful, hard edged indie band or some kind of heavy punk thing, but I’ll let it slide, and not just because of the whole monkey thing. The spazzy synth on the title track earns them another brownie point, and the fact that they clearly don’t give a shit about fitting in with a scene earns them even more."
(Chris Yates from 'Time Off', Queensland Street Press on 'Ready Aim Fire!' )
"Join the firing squad, lock and load.
The latest record from the Brah’s finest quirk punks, Super Best Friends, fuses fastballs of intense melody with reserved adventure. Bleeding guitar tones and locked-in rhythms create sinister undertones through tracks Ready Aim Fire!, The Idiots and the capitalist/communist love in Red Stars & Dollar Signs... Each song is deftly crafted and replicates the energy of a SBF live show. Short, dense verses tease then trail out in anticipation of an anthemed chorus or an engaging variation - both satisfying the listeners desire. The trio aren’t afraid to chuck the old trombone in the mix, the Korg keyboard gets a run as do some youngsters who channel their inner ‘Sgt Peppers’ in the verses of Everything’s’ Fine. SBF have come into its own with this release."
(Luke Robert from Canberra's Litres Of Ink blog)

***Rants and Reviews***
"And just when you think you've had your dose of cool for the night, Super Best Friends saunter onto the postage stamp (sized stage) and start tuning up. Their Ready Aim Fire! EP came out earlier this year and it was pretty damn good. Their indie-punk sound is perfectly suited for the Blue Tile crowd, and the 'Friends serve it up on a shovel of static and loud guitar licks. Opening song The Monkey is the Man sets the tone for their set: this band are tight, tight, tight. The dense and frenetic drums are perfectly in sync with the crashing yet sweet guitars and all three lads have a bit of a sing. The set list contains most of the EP and a couple of newbies, but there are no real duds, and the crowd is DIGGING IT. They surge up the front for a bit of a mosh (in Blue Tile you could have eight people there and still mosh). Some songs are particular killer: newbie Friday is a kick arse three-minute cache of punk guitar and the epic Red Stars & Dollar Signs features blistering drumming and lyrical nous. They play with tempos, going from crazy-fast to lullaby in seconds, which keeps the crowd on their toes. It's a satisfying set, but as rad as Blue Tile is, I'd like to see them again on a bigger stage, where they can leap around without worrying about electrocuting themselves."
Renee Tibbs - Beat Magazine - Blue Tile Lounge (Vic) Nov '09
"To get the blood pumping Super Best Friends were next to take the stage. Also from Canberra these unbelievably entertaining and energetic boys sent the crowd into a dancing flurry with their funky form of indie punk rock. Playing songs off their new EP Ready Aim Fire, these fun loving lads almost looked as though they were having more fun than the lively crowd. It’s rare to find a young band of this style of music doing it so well but hands down they were the stand out for the night. Their EP is now available from all good music stores and if you’re a fan of anything Les Claypool has been associated with, you’ll adore all that these boys have to offer." (FasterLouder - Hell City Glamours support '09)
"The biggest highlight of the evening were the up and coming Super Best Friends... The energy from these guys was contagious... A fantastic live experience." (FasterLouder - Megafauna Festival '09)
"Alright here’s a highlight for you - Super Best Friends... What a treat! They were incredible. No one could look away... The sheer energy and passion they put into the set made this band absolutely captivating. Did I mention the music itself? Dynamic and playful at times, brutal and tight at others. Here’s a tip - go see Super Best Friends." (www.loadedog.com)
“They are one of the most unpretentious, energetic and entertaining acts that I have seen live in a very long time. That's just the stage show. Their songs are tight, intelligent and original with rhythms that go off. Creative backbeats and a nice mix of stylised punk and rock make these guys a definite highlight...” (BMA Magazine)
Debut EP 'Seditious Material' (2007) featuring Sound Off (played on Triple J's 'Home & Hosed') & Spy-Where? (played on Sydney's FBi Radio 94.5 FM) Available at Landspeed Records, most CD stores around Oz and NZ & online at Waterfront Records.
"If you're after surprises, this could be what you're looking for." (Seditious Material, Blunt Magazine)
"Super Best Friends have lived up to expectations with their debut release, a rollicking, hard-rocking good time for anyone with a penchant for distorted guitars, original songwriting & a political edge." (Seditious Material, BMA Magazine)
Hell yeah guys...maybe in a couple of months there might be a music festival kind of thing going on but ill let you know when its set in stone...if you guys want a support if u get this pcyc thing going we're always up for a gig
Hey guys, on the 14th of November we're playing as part of the Global Battle of the Bands Regional Finals at the Basement...if you're not busy you should head down and check it out...it starts at 8:30...itd be cool to catch you guys there...its been a while since you were down in Griffith... Peace
Sunday 4th October, The Woohoo Revue (Melb), The FRONT GALLERY, 7:30-11pm, $15, genre: Gypsy-Rock.
Melbourne gypsy band, The Woohoo Revue is touring NSW and will be putting on a gypsy rock spectacle at The Front Gallery on Sun 4th October.
People lucky enough to have seen the band’s previous A.C.T. shows will know that this will be a fantastic performance. Expect a big, brassy and outrageously tight set. The Woohoo Revue play music for celebration- for drinking, dancing and forgetting about tomorrow. This is a band that has been seemingly transported from inside a big top. Whilst no dancing bears feature in the show, the group dresses sharp and the playing is even sharper.
I will slam dunk tonight! I will in your face disgrace someone on the basketball court. They will probably cry and i will say, "Lesson learned. Go back to the NBA where you belong, Le Bron"
Congrats to Johnny for the Triple J job!! Thats killah!! And you guys really need to come back down to the Bay and play another show. We're dying to see you again at North St. :]
