Album Review: The Superjesus - Love And Violence

StarStarStarHalf Star

"You know they can still do the big swinging rock thing."

More The Superjesus The Superjesus Profile

Unlike many of their contemporaries, The Superjesus brand name retains a lot of goodwill.

That pretty much comes down to Sarah McLeod's energiser bunny enthusiasm and energy, and her neat trick of displaying a little vulnerability among the rock-chick swagger — even as the guitars divebomb around.

That's all there in the need of The Setting Sun, then McLeod adds some empathy as she watches the working 'girls' from a St Peters Lane window. Her parallel solo singer-songwriter work has developed her lyricism, but when the live version of Come Back To Me kicks in, you know they can still do the big swinging rock thing when required.
