Eight Step Rail is the debutEP by Australianrock bandThe 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 ahidden track onSumo.
The big guitar sounds are yet another use of the infamousSansamp fromTech 21. After the engineer (Mick Wordley 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 theARIA Music Awards of 1997, the EP won twoARIA Awards, "Best New Talent" and "Breakthrough Artist – Single".[1]
