Press release
Monday 18 February 2008 sees the release of IDIOT FOOD by SUPERMAN REVENGE SQUAD, the fourth free download release from the GIITTV Singles Club http://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/content/singles_club.php

The song is backed with THE ANGRIEST DOG IN THE WORLD and WHEN EVERYONE’S DEAD.

A rough demo version of Idiot Food was available for download from Superman Revenge Squad’s MySpace in 2007 and was featured in several music blog’s ‘best of 2007’ lists. The new version has been completely re-recorded.

Press:

“A very sharp lyricist indeed… Absolute genius!” – Tom Robinson on Radio6 Music

"Like Brooklyn's Jeffrey Lewis, Superman Revenge Squad is taking folk music in exciting new directions - accessible, inventive and painfully funny, taking shots at pop culture but never straying too far from endearing self-deprecation. An artist who deserves much more press" – www.indiefolkforever.blogspot.com

“Superman Revenge Squad's Ben Parker is a better songwriter than you and just about anyone” - www.clickyclickymusic.com

Superman Revenge Squad comprises of one man from Croydon, called Ben, playing the acoustic guitar and singing. He used to be in Nosferatu D2, who played their final gig at the Spitz supporting Los Campesinos in March 2007. Since then Ben has been playing around London, York and Brighton as SRS.

Reviews:
Stirring aggit-folk, with the fragility of Bright Eyes & some hilarious lyrics…" Subba-cultcha

"There's a certain melancholy humour to the lyrics here that recalls Morrissey, but somehow more pithy and self-effacing. Musically the melodies and structure aren't what you expect, keeping you interested, keeping a high dynamic to a simple guitar and voice basis, and it's this sort of thing that makes it clear why Superman Revenge Squad ends up playing on bills with full bands rather than being buried in acoustic nights" Ishotthedeputy.com
