If you have no idea who the Supersuckers are, then I feel sorry for you. Sorry because you have not yet experienced the (self-proclaimed) greatest rock-n-roll band in the world! If you have heard of them then, I’m jealous of you. Jealous because…well, let’s just say if the Supersuckers had a spread in Tiger Beat, they’d be plastered all over my bedroom wall.
The Supersuckers have almost a cult following of die-hard fans. You just don’t kinda sorta like the Supersuckers…you fucking LOVE the Supersuckers. Their sound is honest-to-goodness American rock-n-roll: unpretentious, tongue-in-cheek and sacrilegious. Their songs have an anthem-like quality to them, with raking guitar intros that make you jump up and down waiting for the rest of the band to kick in. Their songs are about fucked-up relationships, getting fucked up and not giving a fuck. They draw upon an archetypal rock sound to make their music: from the Ramones to Thin Lizzy to Social Distortion.
