We’ve never been huge fans of teen bands – "early teen bands" in particular, just to be more specific… Yeah, there’s something about that which somehow bothers us a little ("rock’n’roll" always brings to mind those two other words starting with "s" and "d" that nobody feels comfortable mentioning in the presence of kids). But it’s not just that: firstly, there’s always the feeling that these bands are not exactly spontaneous gatherings of like minded musicians but groups assembled (and directed) by their parents; secondly, we are often dissatisfied by the songwriting for obvious reasons (we don’t care THAT much about perfect performance, it’s only rock’n’roll after all…) But somehow Supercute! conquered us from the first few chords. Maybe the fact that the band stems from an established musicians’ collective that has the words "family" and "slideshow" in it reassures us (Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players). But all prejudice aside, the bottom line is that these girls have some really good songs – particularly reminiscent of our favorite rock’n’roll genius: Syd Barret, a man who – quite fittingly – never grew up. This allowed him to be free and – most importantly – to sound free. Isn’t this sense of freedom – a "sound of freedom" – one of the things we look for when we listen to indie music?
