Supersuckers have always identified as a Rock band with a capital R, however frontman, bass player, and songwriter Eddie Spaghetti pens tunes that would fall into the Pop realm. Don’t think Bubble-Gum. The tunes are Supersuckers Pop, something with a load of the aforementioned Rock yet still catchy and hooky enough to sink Hard Rock claws right into your ears.
 
Their latest release, Liquor, Women, Drugs & Killing, is by all standards classic Supersuckers; a Hard Rocker of a record that has that hooky Pop vibe. Songs that that won’t leave your head as they tend to stick like glue to your brain. “Tried to Write a Song” is the Poppiest of the bunch, a head bobber of a cut that’s Paul Westerberg-catchy but Eddie Spaghetti identifiable, as it’s a big hook with big riffs.

The rest continues the same charge. “Maybe I’m Just Messing with You” is a solid, ripping opener that has traditional Supersuckers outlaw lyrics referencing theft and life on the run. Cuts like “Unsolvable Problems” and “Let Down, Forgotten, and Alone” could be out-takes from their 1997 release Must’ve Been High, as they’re loaded with Outlaw Country noir as Supersuckers have always moonlighted as an Alt Country band in Rock’n’Roll rags. The rest of Liquor, Women, Drugs, Killing is all about the Rock. “Time to Put it Down”, “I Don’t Enunciate”, and “Rocket 69” come from a Motorhead and Circle Jerks upbringing.
​
As they continue world domination for close to four decades of Rock clubs, riffs, and the road, Supersuckers have nailed their sound formula, and there’s no need to stray when what you have is great. (by Bryant Liggett)
