***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...â€.
(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)

"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)
"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)
