Biography
Since the release of their acclaimed debut LP, Pop-Up Book, The Superfantastics have toured Eastern Canada steadily with bands such as Julie Doiron and Shotgun Jimmie, opened for Joel Plaskett and Two Hours Traffic and showcased at festivals such as NXNE, CMW, Pop Monreal, The ECMAs, Nova Scotia Music Week and The Halifax Pop Explosion. In 2007, the group was nominated for two Nova Scotia Music Awards for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Album. This year they received both a Nova Scotia Music Award nominations and an East Coast Music Award nomination for Best Music Video.
With their new EP Choose You Destination, The Superfantastics have pushed pop music to its borders. Science experiments of songs, each track delivers hook after hook through a mesh of synths, fuzz soaked guitars and pounding beats. From the Chet Atkins inspired riff in "Lullaby Punches" to the Superchunk snarl of "The Astronomer," the band has moved past the obvious to produce a unique set of songs that deliver complex arrangements of simple pop charm. Released in February of 2008, the EP shot directly to the top ten of the earshot national college charts.
Starting as a weekly drum lesson, The Superfantastics quickly began to pen songs that earned the attention of their hometown of Halifax, NS in January of 2006. In the coming months, the band released their debut EP, Like Letters. A video for the album’s single “What Will You Do Now?” was featured on MuchMusic's The Wedge, Going Coastal and on Bravo TV. The band returned the following Spring with their acclaimed debut LP, Pop-Up Book. The lauded music video for "Tonight, Tonite," from the album, was featured on MuchMusic's The Wedge and Going Coastal.
