Here’s a bit of good luck — or at least good news — for your Friday the 13th: Eddie Spaghetti and his Supersuckers are putting out a new album. Play That Rock n’ Roll, the long-serving roots-punks’ 13th studio album, will arrive on Feb. 7, according to a press release. Here’s what Eddie had to say about it: “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!!” Personally, I can’t wait. I’ve been a fan for more than 25 years now, and still vividly remember the first time I saw their classic lineup live at Seattle’s Weathered Wall on July 1, 1994, with New Bomb Turks opening the show (and then storming the stage during the Supersuckers’ set to spray Silly String all over Eddie and co.). Of course, maybe you’re not into the ’Suckers. Your loss. But take heart; there have been plenty of other new albums announced in the past day or so. Scroll down to see the latest additions — including titles by Swamp Dogg, Body Count and Mark Kozelek — or head over to the Upcoming Releases page to see the whole list. BYO Silly String.
