about

“Payroll” the next lysergic fuzz rocker from Melbourne based power trio Super American Eagle is out today through Cheersquad Records & Tapes.
Taken from their forthcoming self-titled debut LP out this November 10th, “Payroll” finds Super American Eagle bringing heavy psych vibes as descending shoegaze guitars churn under disaffected vocals offering relatable hooks to grab onto for the ride.
Short and sharp “Payroll” delivers its barbed ode to the feeling of relegation, both financially and emotionally, to the role of neglected dependent in under three minutes.
Super American Eagle explains that “Payroll” was written about being stuck in a dead-end job or relationship and no one gives a shit about you.”
Featuring Brent DeBoer of The Dandy Warhols, Dave Mudie from the Courtney Barnett band and Bob Harrow of Immigrant Union, the group came together after a chance move to play a New York City Union Immigrant show with other members missing, as a three piece. The undeniable chemistry and inspiration to deliver a brand-new project was born and Super American Eagle took flight.
“Payroll” follows the singles ‘Yes’ and ’Shit’s a Thing’ which drew interest for the band and continues the reveal of singles ahead of Super American Eagle’s debut album release this November 10th.

lyrics

I’ve been living on your payroll
You never give me a dime
I’ve been living on your payroll
You never see it in my eyes
You never worry what we’re doing
A complete waste of time

I’ve been living on your payroll
You never give us a dime
We’ve been living on your payroll
You never see it in our eyes
I never worry what we’re doing
A complete waste of time

Hey you, blowing up my mind
Hey you

I’ve been living on your payroll
You never give me a dime
I’ve been living on your payroll
You never see it in my eyes
I never worry what we’re doing
A complete waste of time

Hey you, blowing up my mind
Hey you, blowing up my mind
Hey you, blowing up my mind
Hey you, blowing up my mind
