<p>The Supersuckers, also known as The Greatest Rock n Roll Band In The World, are an American rock band formed in November 1988 in Tucson, Arizona. Originally known as The Black Supersuckers, the band's original lineup consisted of Dancing Eagle (Drums), Ron Heathman (Guitar), Eddie Spaghetti (Bass, Vocals), and Dan Bolton (Guitar). Over the years, the lineup has changed with Eddie Spaghetti now on bass and vocals, Metal Marty Chandler on guitar, and Captain Chris Von Streicher on drums.</p>

<p>Throughout their career, the Supersuckers have had several former members including Dancing Eagle on drums and backing vocals from 1988 to 2003. Other notable former members include Rick Sims on guitars and backing vocals from 1995 to 1996, Dusty Watson on drums from 2005 to 2006, Eric Martin as lead vocalist in their early years from 1988 to 1989, Ron "Rontrose" Heathman on guitars and backing vocals from 1988 to 1995 and again from 1996 to 2009. Mike Musburger played drums for a brief period in 2005-2006 while Scott "Scottzilla" Churilla took over drumming duties from 2006-2012. Dan "Thunder" Bolton was also a guitarist and provided backing vocals for various periods between the years of 1988-2003

Tracked over the course of four sweltering days at Willie Nelson's Austin, TX studio, "Play That Rock n' Roll" rocks with an amphetamine intensity, delivering muscular riffs, big choruses and more than a few tricks up it's sleeve. Raw, immediate and often times hilarious, "Play That Rock n' Roll' is the album a band makes after slugging it out on the road for thirty years (barring a one year hiatus while Eddie battled throat cancer). No frills, no guest stars and no collaborations, the album earns the listener's ear - the Supersuckers have lived this sh*t and you can feel it. Songs like "Bringing It Back" and "Last Time Again" deliver a Ramones-like wall of sound, courtesy of guitarist Metal Marty Chandler, while "You Ain't The Boss Of Me" recalls Dirty Deeds-era AC/DC - and never one to be taken too seriously, Eddie and company make sure to keep the Supersuckers tongue firmly planted in cheek with "That's a Thing?" and "Gettin' Into Each Other's Pants". The album also includes a rousing cover of Michael Monroe's "Dead, Jail or Rock n' Roll" and a long overdue revival of the Allen Toussaint penned "A Certain Girl," which appears as an "unlisted track." "The Supersuckers have been doing this for a long time. A LONG time. And the fact that we're still doing it is not lost on us. We still love Rock n Roll. I mean, we must. There's no other explanation for why we would still be putting out fresh, new rock music anymore. No one NEEDS it. Hell, hardly anybody even WANTS it. But here it is. Another master class in quality Rock n' Roll. Sure it's for the few, the proud, the People of Impeccable Taste, the Connoisseurs Of Quality but it makes us happy to know we still got it. And we do. We might be better than we've ever been and that's exciting. So here it is, our love letter to good, ass kicking rock n roll. Turn it on, turn it up and listen to the Supersuckers play that Rock n' Roll!!"
