about

Naarm psych fuzz lords Super American Eagle get even heavier with “Mark Of The Beast”, the new single and video taken from their debut LP both out now through Cheersquad Records & Tapes.

Super American Eagle dispense huge riffs and plenty of bile as the subsequent album single “Mark Of The Beast” offers further proof as to why this trio are fast becoming sure-fire room fillers. Coming across like The Melvins on heavy edibles, the densest of riffs grinds beneath the song, swaying the ensemble like some irresistible gravitational force.

The band agree that the song is about, “the people who fought and literally died for freedom only to have their dumb ass grandchildren to hand it back for free”.

After a serendipitous move to fill in on a New York City Union Immigrant show, Brent DeBoer of The Dandy Warhols, Dave Mudie from the Courtney Barnett band and Bob Harrow of Immigrant Union hit upon a winning, amp frying formula.

“Mark of The Beast” follows the singles ‘Yes’, ’Shit’s a Thing’, 'Payroll' and 'Mac' from Super American Eagle’s warmly received debut LP and will feature at a string of shows around this new single release.

lyrics

Papa and nan saw Saul away
Soldiering into the rain
And the life that he knew he threw it all away.

Never again you hear them say. Numb your brain it’ll be okay
Now you’ve up and you’ve let them throw it all away

The Battle is on we’re on the stage
Lost the tongue it’s all the rage
Now we’re free to do what they tell us all to say.

Truism in the fiction bin
Down the memory hole again
And now we all are in charge of nothing here today.

We’re throwing it all away
We’re throwing it all away
We’re throwing it all away
We’re throwing it all away
