Electric Frankenstein, the Supersuckers

Editor's Review:

As far as rock 'n' rollers who have the credibility to back up their claims to a drinkin,' smokin' rock 'n' roll lifestyle, few can hold a candle to either the Supersuckers or Electric Frankenstein. Each band represents with five songs on the first of the Splitsville series, the Supersuckers kicking things off with the familiar-themed "Then I'm Gone" ("Yeah I still smoke / and I drink too much / yeah and I'm still broke / baby, let's go dutch") and running through three other new tracks before offering an acoustic cover of Electric Frankenstein's "Teenage Shutdown." Electric Frankenstein responds with five of their own numbers, led by the anthemic rocker "Sweet Baby Ignorance" and closing their half with a rousing rendition of Supersuckers' "She's My Bitch." High-brow? Not really. Punk fucking rock? Abso-fucking-lutely.
