'Ready Aim Fire!' and 'Yeah Yeah! Hey Hey!' are taken from the 2009 EP 'Ready Aim Fire!'

"This is a spiky, in-your-face debut from Canberra outfit Super Best Friends. As punk goes, it well and truly delivers, with frenetically-paced three minute gems backed with blistering drums and guitars... After listening to this sparkler a few times, you get the feeling that Super Best Friends would 'go off' live. With such a chaotic, immediate sound, how could they not?." (Renee Tibbs - Beat Magazine)

“I’m digging that quite a bit at the moment. They’re a young band out of Canberra, three dudes going by the name of Super Best Friends...”. (Stu Harvey, SHORT.FAST.LOUD)

"‘The Monkey Is The Man’ opens the CD by SBF, guaranteeing them a favourable review from this humble writer. They are a band from Canberra (yeah, I know!), who can’t decide whether they want to be a thoughtful, hard edged indie band or some kind of heavy punk thing, but I’ll let it slide, and not just because of the whole monkey thing. The spazzy synth on the title track earns them another brownie point, and the fact that they clearly don’t give a shit about fitting in with a scene earns them even more."
(Chris Yates from Brisbane's 'Time Off')

“Join the firing squad. Lock and Load. The latest record from the Brah’s finest quirk punks, Super Best Friends, fuses fastballs of intense melody with reserved adventure. Bleeding guitar tones and locked-in rhythms create sinister undertones through tracks Ready Aim Fire!, The Idiots and the capitalist/communist love in Red Stars & Dollar Signs... Each song is deftly crafted and replicates the energy of a SBF live show... SBF have come into its own with this release.”
(Luke Robert from ‘Litres Of Ink Blog’)

‘The Monkey Is The Man’ from ‘Ready Aim Fire!’ has also scored some J-Play on SHORT.FAST.LOUD and 'Sound Off' is taken from the 2007 EP 'Seditious Material'.

rating:  5/5
It's a fresh blend of witty political statements, metal, punk, indie rock, and something else I can't quite describe in words.
