Last Call For Vitriol (Arena Rock). Review by Eric J. Iannelli.
SUPERDRAG LAST CALL FOR VITRIOL Arena Rock First and foremost, don't look to Superdrag for any lyrical profundity. They rely a bit too much on the kitsch pop filler of "oooh," "baby," "yeah, yeah," and senseless chorus repetition; their songs rarely cover any subject other than being deliriously in ...

Split EP (Vagrant/Heroes & Villains). Review by Troy Jewell.
THE ANNIVERSARY/SUPERDRAG SPLIT EP Vagrant/Heroes & Villains The most striking song on this EP by two of America's emo darlings is "Up in the Sky" by The Anniversary. There has been much discussion about the role of music in the healing of the nation since the events of September 11, but all the music ...

THE ROCKWELLS TEAR IT DOWN Migrant Records The great Knoxville power-pop band Superdrag has supposedly called it a day. But fortunately for us, there appears to be something in the water of that Tennessee town, as this quartet offers up a similar sensibility on their latest EP, Tear It Down. Of course ...

... lumped in with the scores of Alternative Nation no-hit-wonders and major label "who-were-they-then" MTV Buzz Bin flops (Super Deluxe, Ruth Ruth, Superdrag), the Dandy Warhols' gloriously tongue-in-cheek underground smash "Not If You Were the Last Junkie On Earth," already seems like an long-forgotten ...

July 1999 :: Music T-Z :: Where Is My Mind? (Ian Koss)
... heavily from a stable of indie/emo rock darlings like Braid, the Promise Ring and Weston, and adding some off-beat choices like the Siren Six!, Superdrag, and Weezer. Highlights include the Siren Six! and their cool-down-ska rendition of "The Holiday Song," and the Teen Heroes' "Manta Ray," which begins ...

The Rosenbergs seemed poised for all the perks life in the majors can offer. After being touted as the best unsigned bands in America, the majors were sniffing around, and the band was offered a chance to appear on USA Network's Farmclub show. Then they made waves by rejecting the majors, exposing Farmclub's shifty business practices, and entering into an unusual alliance with Napster. What almost got lost in the process is the fact that The Rosenbergs are a damn fine power pop band, which they're proving w
... like 98 percent of major records only sell about 400 copies, according to the statistics. And we've got tons of friends, everybody from Nada Surf to Superdrag, who, y'know, you release a record and then you end up in court for two years trying to get the rights back because it was shelved or something ...

Thus Always to Tyrants (Sugar Hill). Review by Sean Slone.
... and Miller's harmonica providing the only accompaniment. Miller comes back rocking strong on "Absolution," on which fellow Knoxville residents Superdrag back him up. "Miracle Man" (aka "I Ain't No Miracle Worker") is not the Elvis Costello song, but a cover of a track by a band called The Brogues that ...

Feed (Burnside). Review by Aaron Shaul.
... of their idols. Feed, broken down into its components, is comprised of equal parts Pavement, Weezer, Tom Petty and Blur. So... yeah, they could be Superdrag, but so what? Their songs are like high school mix-tapes waiting to happen: perfect, punchy and faceless. I don't want to come down hard on Feed ...

... , always credible and never giving over to the tediousness of self-pity or getting mired in gloom. "Iron Woman" is punchy American roots rock in the Superdrag mode, embellished with shouts, group choruses and a squealing sax solo performed by Davis himself. And like most of the tracks on Lonely People ...

The Rewinds (Livewire). Review by David Barker.
... to a lot of what's "hip." Either way, the quartet brings a freshness to traditional power-pop, following in the footsteps of Big Star, Sloan, Superdrag and the like. The Rewinds' debut album isn't made up of as many disparate parts as the bands they've shared the stage with -- My Morning Jacket to VHS ...
