Supersuckers

At this point in their illustrious, nearly 40-year career, Supersuckers have nothing to prove to anyone. Formed in 1988 and led by charismatic singer/bassist Eddie Spaghetti, Supersuckers caught with a crowd that appreciated the group’s license to shred within the confines of killer punk rock songs, along with lyrics that didn’t take things so seriously. So much so that the band’s legacy has grown over the years as has their rabid fan base. Following years of relentless touring, Spaghetti, along with guitarist "Metal" Marty Chandler and drummer Christopher "Chango" von Streicher, decided to get back into the studio for what would become Liquor, Women, Drugs & Killing, the band’s 12th studio album. On Liquor, Women, Drugs & Killing, the Supersuckers joined forces with old friend Billy Joe Bowers to produce the album. The lyrics are sharp, yet dark and biting —the trademark of any Supersuckers album. Sonically, it is more upbeat than its cynical lyrics. As the Supersuckers gear up for another round of touring, this album has given something the band hasn’t had in a bit: hope. “You don’t want to hope too much and keep your expectations low,” Eddie says. “Still, I am excited about this. We have no business putting out a record this good this late in our career. It is what makes us the greatest rock n roll band in the world.”
