Manningtree punk-pop fourpiece SuperGlu have released their new single ‘Forever Endeavour’, an anthem of loss with an undertone of optimism conveyed through energetic hooks stickier than their name.
Back with a bang after their well-received Communion Records Double A-Side release in 2017 Welcome Home / Rounder, SuperGlu have turned what should have been a ‘last hurrah’ into the most exciting of new beginnings, reminding us what we’ve been missing following their two-year hiatus.
Released on 4th October through the band’s imprint Don’t Try, in conjunction with Antigen Records via Kartel Music Group, ‘Forever Endeavour is an addictively upbeat track with euphoric harmonies, but has a darker meaning lyrically, longing for the excitement and promise of the past few years.’
Lead singer Ben explains; “The band had stopped making music and my girlfriend Krista (and bass player) was preparing to move to Berlin. I was at a low point. As I sat in my house strumming the chords and singing the verse, I heard Krista singing a potential chorus whilst packing upstairs: “Remember the good times” seemed to summarise it all.”
“This is a love-letter from me and Krista to both SuperGlu and one another – a swan song we thought no one would hear has found new meaning and bought SuperGlu back to life.”
SuperGlu released their debut EP Horse in 2016 and have since built an avid following for their vigorous punk-pop sound, with support from Huw Stephens and Annie Mac at BBC Radio 1, Steve Lamacq at BBC 6Music, John Kennedy at Radio X and BBC Introducing.
Their reputation as one of the UK’s best live acts has built them an impressive resume, which includes numerous shows at SXSW, support slots with Twin Atlantic and The Stranglers and a headline show on the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading and Leeds festival.
