Jesus Christ Supercar

"I kept moving – up to catch Jesus Christ Supercar, if only because I liked their name. What I found was a group of guys wearing sunglasses and jean jackets with the sleeves rolled up, sounding like the second coming of Ted Leo and the Pharmacists one minute and a psychobilly freakout the next..." — KDHX

"With skittering hi-hats and pulsing synths, the band demands you pack your dancing shoes..." — RFT

Sometimes, you’ve just got to keep on rumbling. Jesus Christ Supercar formed in St. Louis in 2018 and hasn’t idled for a second. Forging a mix of their disco, synth pop, and glam-rock influences, the band has built a reputation both for the dance parties they instigate and the headbanging riffs they effortlessly rip.

Supercar has paved their own way as their city’s premier (read: only) fuzz-pop, matching-jackets, dance-rock group. They’ve shared the stage with Cheap Trick, Broncho, !!! (Chk Chk Chk), Dinosaur Pile-Up, El Ten Eleven, Post-Sex Nachos, the Blue Stones, and more, and show no signs of stopping. The band’s three EPs - POST-MADONNA (2020), TURBO DIESEL (2021), and WHAT TIME? (2022) - emphasize their “make-it-danceable-first” ethos, riffing on indie sleaze aesthetics mixed with their idolization of pop music and desert rock.

Their new EP, RELIABLE BRAKE SERVICE, produced by Mobley (Last Gang Records), is out July 22, 2025. Lead single “RUMBLE” is emblematic of the Supercar sound: a dance number chock full of arpeggiators, handclaps, harmonies, and riffs for days. Second single “FRENCH GIRLS” takes powerpop simplicity and crashes it right into Supercar’s trademark fuzz and synths “RAYGUNS” pushes the band's indie-sleaze influences to its limits, resulting in something that is somehow both wildly chaotic and extremely focused, super clean yet terribly busted, and crushing through a riff that refuses to let go of the band's disco influences.

“French Girls” is a taste of what’s to come for Jesus Christ Supercar - St. Louis Magazine

"'French Girls' offers a dazzling mix of vibrant guitars, ear-pleasing synths, and pulse-raising beats, creating a dance-ready backdrop that merges power pop and indie rock... With its nostalgic feel and uplifting energy, 'French Girls' is an irresistible alt-rock anthem ready to get you moving. So press play and turn it up." - Ratings Game Music

“'French Girls'” thrives in its contradictions: slick but scrappy, ironic but sincere, emotionally raw but tongue firmly in cheek. It’s Teenage Fanclub if they grew up watching Amélie on acid, or Weezer in their Pinkerton-core daydreams with a foreign language tape playing in the background." - Open Call Magazine

"When it comes down to it, 'Rumble' feels cool but dark and subversive too, a leather jacket that is scuffed to hell and smells like cigarettes and all manner of drink..." - American Pancake
