HERE’S WHAT THE CRITICS HAVE TO SAY:
“A remarkably good album! A pure pop classic! Will have you singing along whilst you’re waiting at the traffic lights of life …. there are no fillers on this album - IT'S ALL GOOD!!! Packed full of pop majesty! Buy this album & that's an order!” ***** stars
- BluesBunny Online Magazine [www.bluesbunny.com]
“Trip manages to pull these songs together with more chemistry than some bands achieve in an entire career! There’s an indisputable swagger - somewhere between Dylan & The Stone Roses. A surprisingly slick & entertaining addition to this genre – SUPER 8 really are SUPER!” **** stars
- Dan Coxon, ‘IS THIS MUSIC?’ magazine
"Entirely written, recorded and produced in an attic by a chap called Trip, 'Daysaver' is a competent homage to those melodic, ebullient guitar bands of yesteryear. The Beatles, The Verve and Primal Scream are all obvious points of reference in this multi-tracked bonanza which hums with its creator’s obvious enthusiasm. This is competent, catchy guitar pop … Trip throws caution to the wind and produces something surprising! Check out the confident strut of tracks like ‘New Dawn’ and ‘Callin’ Out’. A bright, breezy & assured album." *** stars

‘HONEY-BEE’ - ECHOES OF TIN-PAN ALLEY IN MODERN MUSIC!
There’s an old Tin Pan Alley technique of song-writing which is to have two melodies occurring simultaneously and working together without harmonizing with each other. It is a great way to write an interesting melody but very difficult to successfully pull off. In this song SUPER 8 have pulled it off absolutely fabulously! Also the layered vocal sound in this song is awesome & I just love the line "You're my Yoko, but you're much better looking!" Above all it’s the melody and that voice that strike a chord with me. A GREAT job! ***** stars

HONEY-BEE - Easy ‘Indie’ Listening!
The break is very chilled Burt Bacharach-ville - "Pass me a Martini doll!"
Pulling this off live would be absolute killer! Super 8 come play Toronto!
