Super-fire is a single and an EP by American post-hardcore band Girls Against Boys, released in 1996 by Touch and Go Records.[2][3] The title track was the first single from House of GVSB and it was followed by the second single "Disco Six Six Six".[4] It was released in different configurations, such as a vinyl which only consisted of the title track, a CD which consisted of the title track and the b-side "If Glamour Is Dead", and a CD which consisted of the title track plus "Cash Machine" (also off of House of GVSB) and the non-album tracks "If Glamour Is Dead" and "Viva Roma Star".[5]
The music video, featuring the band playing in and destroying a room made up of tungsten light bulbs, was deemed too violent for airplay on MTV at the time of release, forcing the band to re-edit the video.
Spin called the title track "a post-rock-gone-hard-rock sonic manifesto."[6]Billboard wrote that the song's "sophisticated groove and overlapping textures tip the hat to techno and trip-hop, but the attitude and invention are pure punk."[7]NPR included the song on its list of "100 Essential Noise Pop Songs."[8]
