The Supersuckers & Electric Frankenstein: Splitsville, Vol.
1 (2002)

from Vanguard Party 2.1 (October 2002)
Exactly what we’ve come to expect from two of
the heartiest rock ‘n’ roll bands around. Songs that praise
the booze, drugs, the evil powers of rock and roll, and even the icky
feeling women put into some people’s guts. Though the bigger and
this time better songs on this split come from the Tucson by way of
Seattle band, the Supersuckers.
This Split feature 10 great songs that will have your
head bobbing or your ears bleeding. Fuck those who choose to assert
the latter because this is good music from a musician’s standpoint.
All of the songs feature at least one competent guitarist with an ample
dose of Satan in them. The Electric Frankenstein tracks are straightforward
rock, though they tend to be longer and more drawn out than the Supersuckers
who tend to be almost pure Amphetamine.
I would recommend getting or hunting this thing down,
before it gets the idea to get or hunt you down. That wouldn’t
be pretty.
