Superman Revenge Squad
Idiot Food
God is in the TV
Article

One overused, but pertinent, phrase that crops up a fair amount when talking about contemporary songwriters is that ‘they don’t seem to have anything interesting to say…’ This is clearly a concern for Superman Revenge Squad (aka Ben Parker) who is so keen to avoid the pitfalls of writing about the same old shite in the same old way that he goes into overdrive with the lyrical abstraction on this, his debut single. It is essentially a break up song but expressed in a stream-of-consciousness fashion which deviates from the initial statement of ‘she left me’ by way of ranting about Coldplay, Esther Rantzen, food poisoning and Jo Whiley pleasuring herself whilst listening to your own back catalogue. The thing is it’s all a bit too abstract, meaning by the end of it we’re left wondering, “mate… what the hell are you on about”? It’s a shame because musically it’s a decent and rhythmically strummed ditty with a nice little melodic hook. It seems in this instance, if you try to make what you say too interesting; you end up losing sight of what it was you were trying to communicate in the first place…
