"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 February 2025. Lead single “RUMBLE” is emblematic of the Supercar sound: a dance number chock full of arpeggiators, handclaps, harmonies, and riffs for days. "RUMBLE" is streaming everywhere on 11.26.24.
