'Alright here's a highlight for you - Super Best Friends. Sure I've seen them on just about every flyer around town and in every edition of BMA since whenever, but I've never seen these guys play before. What a treat! They were incredible. No one could look away. We had the bass player stalking up and down the stage with his long gangly frame, doing that freaky thing with his eyes, along with broken TVs stacked on top of each other with static on display for effect. The sheer energy and passion they put into the set made this band absolutely captivating. Did I mention the music itself? Dynamic and playful at times, brutal and tight at others. Here's a tip - go see Super Best Friends.'

'...I wandered upstairs and began a whole new experience, which I will go out on a limb and claim as one of the best (or possibly just the best) performances at Indyfest. It's not hard to see that Super Best Friends are a band with that extra special sauce. You just need to watch the adoring crowd that follows them from venue to venue. They are one of the most unpretentious, energetic and entertaining acts that I have seen live in a very long time. That's just the stage show. Their songs are tight, intelligent and original with rhythms that go off. Creative backbeats and a nice mix of stylised punk and rock make these guys a definite highlight...'

‘...If you haven’t already seen Super Best Friends in action yet then I seriously, seriously recommend you do. Not only holding the title of... being really good mates, they’ve also been described as “the best live act Canberra has seen for a very long time”...’

‘Super Best Friends were first to play, and as it was later mentioned by Sam from Epic Flagon, they did a damn good job getting the crowd pumped before 9pm. The three piece have a unique sound. Punk, and hard rock with plenty of melody and catchy sounds. The crowd’s response was noticeable. Pool tables and couches were abandoned as a crowd formed around the stage. The boys seem to have a bond that lets their stage presence shine. I can’t wait to catch their next gig.’

'Super Best Friends put on yet another good gig. They have an energy about them that is truly contagious. Their fan base seems to grow with every show. Not only did SBF put their crowd in a happy mood and get them jigging, I also noticed one, if not all members, rocking out to nearly every band that played on the night.'

'Their opening number was an epic of anarchy, seeming like a collage of several songs. Yet a melody of sorts was always there. This was a band to make you laugh as well as tap your feet. However, there was a serous message underneath, with songs that dwelt on current social themes.'
