The Superjesus

The band returns after a long hiatus of uncertainty and a change in line-up. Those who have been ready to write them off should rethink as Sarah McLeod sings beautifully and the band work in harness efficiently to produce a strong effort. The riffs and tenacity are very much on show through the opening songs “Shudder”, “Stick Together”, and “Let It Go”. They indicate a feel-good sing-a-long quality with good hooks. They still have a knack for really rocking out, yet indulging in some slower ballads. Perhaps the ballads may be a little overdone because their fans would better appreciate the grunt and fire that has been synonymous since they broke through. The next album is one that they should push the pedal a little harder. Then, we’ll see the true band at work.
