Eight Step Rail is the debut EP by Australian rock band The Superjesus. The EP was released in May 1996.
The track "I'm Stained" was later re-recorded for their debut album, Sumo. A re-recorded version of "Shut My Eyes" was also later included as a hidden track on Sumo.
The big guitar sounds are yet another use of the infamous from Tech 21. After the engineer ( of Mixmasters Studios in Adelaide, Australia) spent a day trying to get a big sound out of Marshall stacks, he could not go past the sound the band had achieved by direct injecting a Sansamp into their Fostex recorder[citation needed].
At the ARIA Music Awards of 1997, the EP won two ARIA Awards, "Best New Talent" and "Breakthrough Artist – Single".[1]
