The Superjesus have reminded a staple of Australian rock radio since the release of their 1998 debut album, Sumo. And now they’re back with a brand new single, Money (We’re Only In It For Love).
Original members, Sarah McLeod and Stuart Rudd have joined forces with lead guitarist Cam Blokland and drummer Murray Sheridan on the new song which hails a new dawn for the band that burst out of the Adelaide music scene in the late ’90s.
“We have had many line-up changes over the years in our quest to find the right “fit”. We’ve had it before and when you know… you know,” McLeod said.
“Ruddy and I have been searching for that feeling ever since. We’ve continued to tour over the years but haven’t released any new albums because we knew the band wasn’t ready.”
“Some incredibly difficult decisions were made. After our years of experience, we knew it was time to change the chemistry in the band, and we took a year or more to find the right replacements. Fortunately, we found some amazingly talented souls in Murray Sheridan and Cam Blokland.” Rudd said.
Recorded at Murray’s studio, Studio 85 in the Blue Mountains, the new single is both faithful to the power of the band’s back catalogue with a definite nod to pub rock attitude.
Money (We’re Only In It For Love) joins a healthy alumnus of Superjesus songs which have earned the band three ARIA Award wins, two Top 10 albums, 9 Top 50 hits and an induction into the South Australian Music Hall of Fame.
