Music: Rock/Pop Superdrag w/ Birdmonster and DJ Jeff

  • Superdrag_large

Superdrag's "Sucked Out" was one of the prime pop confections of 1996, with cherry-red guitar distortion and John Davis' hoarse vocals transforming the song's self-conscious lyrics into a celebratory call-to-arms. Unfortunately for the band, Elektra didn't hear another single and dropped it after an elaborate (if equally invigorated) follow-up album with the razzing title Head Trip in Every Key. Fortunately — perhaps inspired by Nada Surf's surprising post-wilderness success — Superdrag recently reformed, and, from the sound of their new demos, the Nashville group is still lacing its Beatles-esque pop with feverish fuzz.
