Supersuckers

The Supersuckers crawled out of Tucson in 1988, briefly calling themselves the Black Supersuckers, and have spent the decades since welding hard-rock riffs to country twang with a punk rock sneer holding the whole contraption together. Think of the Foghat, AC/DC and ZZ Top end of the record rack, then picture it raised on punk and allowed to stay up late, and you're close. The songs toast the devil, weed and the opposite sex with a wink so broad you can see it from the back of the bar.

Eddie Spaghetti, born Edward Daly, sings and plays bass, and he's the one guy who has never left. Guitarist Ron "Rontrose" Heathman rode shotgun from 1988 until 1995 and came back around in 2009; Scott "Chernobyl" Churilla pounded the drums from 2006 to 2012. La Mano Cornuda, from 1994, is loud, lewd and gleefully dumb in the best way, and "She's My Bitch" is about as subtle as its title.

Their labels over the years have included Sub Pop, Bloodshot Records and Acetate Records, and they get filed under alternative country about as often as under rock. They are still at it: Liquor, Women, Drugs & Killing turned up in October 2025, a title that could double as the band's mission statement.
