Last year demo single She’s a Star attached itself to the ear with a richness of promise even if in a raw state. There was a craft and passion to it which made Superfecta a proposition to make note of. Now the band unleash their self-titled debut EP with the same song revisited making a stronger persuasion alongside a trio of just as impressive tracks, and the promise already embedded intensified and even more potent.
The London based quartet of vocalist Andy Urwin, guitarist Danun Todd, bassist Max D Pinto, and Bolivian drummer Junior, formed in the summer of 2011 spending the first year writing and honing their sound whilst impressing with their live performances. With a sound which is hard rock and grunge cored as well as melodically coloured, the band entered the studio earlier this year to record the EP, and a rather tasty larger introduction it has emerged to be.
The release opens with the new beefier and intensive version of She’s a Star, the song emerging from a tantalising and mysterious sonic 
haze before the guitars twist away to create a thrilling clearing of sinewy riffs, firmly crisp rhythms, and the drawing vocals of Urwin. Immediately there is an air of Stone Temple Pilots and Soundgarden to the song, the smouldering heat of the sounds bewitching around the richly hued guitar suasion and throaty bass temptation. There is a familiarity to the song which the whole EP comes under it emerges, but a lure which though soaked in recognition only fires up the appetite further. Wholly infectious the track impressively reveals a band with strong craft and imagination to their songwriting and music, even if one still finding their truly unique sound and presence.
The following Paradox is as equally compelling, the guitar of Todd drawing an enticing beckoning which the rest of the band feed from and accelerate until the track is striding confidently and engagingly through the ear. There is a classic rock lilt to the riffs stretching the variety of the release whilst the chorus is another magnetic call on voice and passions. Like its predecessor there is a catchiness which only recruits full and eager attention whilst feet stroll keenly alongside the rhythmic stomp, it all resulting in another very easy to enjoy and succumb to offering.
Inside caresses the ear with a gentle elegant narrative, acoustic guitar kissing the senses at the start as the drums and bass respectfully pace its croon. Vocals too are reserved but powerful especially in the small crescendos of intensity and passion which climb from the simmering heart of the song. There is a whisper of Alice In Chains and Seether to the track which adds extra evocative spice and though it fails to find the same heights of the previous pair, the song is again undeniable evidence of a rather promising and skilful band.
Final song Pendulum kicks up the gears to charge with a rock ‘n’ roll predation, hard and classic rock whispers fuelling its feisty enterprise and ravenous breath. The choppy riffs and melodic colour flowing from the muscular energy only feed the emerged hunger whilst the sonic flames licking at its sides from time to time bring greedy rapture to the boisterous revelry.
Whether the song or EP is offering anything new or unique is debatable but with the accomplished presentation and passionate delivery not forgetting thrilling enterprise, the EP is a refreshing and deeply satisfying encounter which has anticipation for the future on full alert.
