Late in 1994 she joined Chris Tennent to form an indie guitar rock band , Hell 's Kitchen , which later became The Superjesus . Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane described McLeod 's " captivating voice and melodic rhythm guitar . " In May 1996 the group issued their debut four-track extended play , '' Eight Step Rail '' , with all the tracks co-written by McLeod with her bandmates . Jonathan Lewis of AllMusic noticed McLeod 's singing : " Sounding like a cross between Liz Phair and Catatonia 's Cerys Matthews , McLeod 's voice was a major drawcard ; strong , confident and rarely lapsing into the girlishness that characterized some of The Superjesus ' contemporaries . " At the ARIA Music Awards of 1997 the Superjesus won Best New Talent and Breakthrough Artist – Single for '' Eight Step Rail '' . Then released their first full-length album , '' Sumo '' ( June 1998 ) . The group released two more albums , '' Jet Age '' ( October 2000 ) and '' Rock Music '' ( May 2003 ) , before they split in 2004
