SuperMild is a 3-piece genre-spanning band based in Auckland. Once cited in a review as spanning Reggae, Dub, Roots, RnB, Funk, Psychedelic, Rock, and Jazz, SuperMild is driven by a desire to not get stuck in one sound, and to bring banter, energy, a good time, and a great sound to as many stages as possible.
Right from the start of this dub-reggae infused track from SuperMild, you kind of think you know what you're expecting. At least you think. The guitar tone, the drums, the bass... it all shows signs and indicates people who listen to and love the sound of acts like Sublime, yet it takes all the energy and care of that genre and pulls in their own sound.
SuperMild's new track Self Respect sounds spacious and real, capturing the realness of the vibes as the song moves from head bobbing skanking on the guitar, to more ska-punk vocal delivery in its chorus. Along with a middle section that you don't expect, these qualities take this single to place where you should listen to it on repeat. Check out what each musician is doing here to fill out the sound, how the guitar solo is tasteful and just right.
Singles should be an advertisement for a band, a way to capture new listeners and keep current ones happy interested. This does just that. And what’s more, it’s these types of recordings and songs that should be bringing the listeners to their shows to experience the music live. Ultimately, this track does just that.
