"Down Again" was the first single from the Superjesus' debut album Sumo, released on East West in August 1997, months before the record itself arrived in 1998. Sarah McLeod and Chris Tennent wrote it, and McLeod's voice is the whole show: clear and full-throated, it rises out of a slow, heavy crawl of an intro that folds stoner sludge, post-grunge and a light industrial sheen together.
The single got to number 23 on the ARIA Singles Chart, and it has aged well. Double J later put it among the 50 best Australian songs of the 1990s, hearing it as a big, bombastic plea for help that doubles as a karaoke and guitar-game favorite.
