After nearly four decades of unapologetic rock n’ roll, the Supersuckers return today with their twelfth studio album, Liquor, Women, Drugs & Killing, out now via Hardcharger Records (founded by longtime friend Jesse Dayton).

The new record captures everything fans have come to expect from Edward Carlyle Daly III (AKA Eddie Spaghetti - vocals/bass), “Metal” Marty Chandler (guitar), and Christopher “Chango” von Streicher (drums): biting lyrics, unrelenting energy, and the band’s signature blend of punk grit and rock swagger. Produced by Billy Joe Bowers in Atlanta, the album marks the first time in years that Supersuckers leaned into an outside producer—and it paid off. “Being produced again was new and helped the record a lot,” says Spaghetti. “He was able to tap into something we didn’t see, and the record is extra special because of that.”
Leading up to the release, the band unleashed a string of standout singles that showcase the album’s range: the scorching Motörhead-inspired opener “Maybe I’m Just Messin’ With You,” the tongue-in-cheek “Volunteer,” the twang-tinged “Unsolvable Problems” (a favorite of Daly’s for its soaring Chandler solo), and today’s focus track “Meaningful Songs,” which begins tender and acoustic before roaring into a massive rock statement. Together, they set the tone for a record that’s as sharp, darkly funny, and full of swagger as anything the band has ever released.
Across Liquor, Women, Drugs & Killing, Supersuckers sound as fearless as ever, balancing humor, cynicism, and a surprising sense of hope. “I feel like this record has maybe seven singles on it,” Daly admits. “We have no business putting out a record this good this late in our career. It’s what makes us the greatest rock n’ roll band in the world.”
