Kick-ass punky 70’s based rock ‘n roll has gotten more and more popular since the “grunge”. Loads of bands are still flooding the market because it seems so easy to perform distorted few bar-chord songs. A few of the “RAWK music” bands, which have been around for a while, and stand for quality, are “The Supersuckers” and “Electric Frankenstein”.
With “Splitsville Vol 1” the record company put together these two bands on one album. Five songs from both bands, with an extra gadget: both bands play a cover of each other. | |
Especially the original “Supersuckers” song “She’s My Bitch” covered by “Electric Frankenstein” is very convincing.
Like the records comparable bands “Hellacopters” and “Gluecifer” already did years ago (and probably others before them), this is a good opportunity for new people to get to know two high quality bands on one album. It’s all about marketing, but if TMC keeps up this quality, they may continue with “Splitsville”, of which Volume 1 is the first one in an ongoing series.
