Twenty years on from their platinum selling album Sumo hitting number two on the ARIA Chart (and with a few ARIA Awards in the trophy cabinet), The Superjesus are back with an anniversary edition of their celebrated 1998 debut.

The album is set for release on August 17 being reissued on vinyl, the CD edition of Sumo – 20th Anniversary features bonus a never before heard studio recording: The Superjesus cover of Kylie Minogue’s Confide In Me

Inducted into the South Australian Music Hall of Fame in 2017, The Superjesus have much to celebrate with this extra-special edition of Sumo. 

Reflecting on the life-changing record, front woman Sarah McLeod says: 
“(When Sumo came out)…everything went big time.  It was terrifying and exciting all at once.  We worked so hard on that album… To be sitting here talking about it 20 years later, knowing that it was an important part of Australian music history and affected so many people along the way…it  feels like an incredible achievement.  We had no blueprint of how we wanted to sound - of course we had our influences, but it was the combination of those influences that made us become The Superjesus.”

Supported by Triple M and New World Artists, The Superjesus will be hitting the road with an EPIC stack of gig dates in the second half of 2018 – fans had better get ready to get Down Again to the sounds of Adelaide’s finest ‘90s alternative rock band!

Sumo – 20th Anniversary Edition CD and a limited red vinyl pressing of the original album will be out August 17.
