Eddie Spaghetti & Frank Meyer - Motherfuckin' Rock `N' Roll Red/Black Splatter Vinyl LP

Who are Eddie Spaghetti & Frank Meyer and how did they come to releasing this collaboration?, well playing in the bands Supersuckers and Street Walkin Cheetahs respectively and touring together with their bands on and off for the past few decades.  So why now?, Covid is part of the answer, throw that into the arena and time on is given to you as tours are cancelled, songs that have been rattling around that need airing or given new life, and off we go with this Rock n Roll ten track bender of an album.

Kicking off with the song that says everything about the album ‘Motherfuckin Rock n Roll’ is nothing less that a lesson on how to kick some ass musically, imagine if Little Richard played guitar or Jerry Lee Lewis for that matter!

Coming together and creating a supernova of Rock, Punk, Country and Blues, Eddie & Frank were obviously separated at birth and now collide back together to play on this eclectic moment of musical life.

If your taste in music is that of “if it fuckin moves me, makes me dance and involves drinking beer with friends” then this album has it all, rockin the hell out of your brain with the likes of ‘Knock My Teeth Out’, hitting the high of a cover of ‘My Sharona’ which also features Burton Averre (The Knack) playing lead guitar, or the reflection of a life that my have gone down the wrong road ‘Top Shelf Shame’ tackles the abuse of alcohol in a brutal yet honest way, then you’ve picked up the right piece of wax here.

It’s not that often you get to give your ears an uncontrolled work out like this album delivers, down and dirty country mixed with bourbon soaked blues and that’s just ‘You Can’t Take It back’.  Being that they have been hard at work making this album throughout lock down, throwing things back and fore over social media, via mobile phone recordings and finally in the studio, this seems to have given the album a heart that beats all on its own, it never sits still and has you the listener surprised at every turn, Rock n Roll played in a tried and tested way, yet so fresh and exciting that your left exhausted and in a heap on the floor at the end, especially when that end involves a ‘Barroom Brawl’ played as powerfully as, well lets just say Sweet ‘Hell-Raiser’ would be pushed in a battle.

An album of kick ass, dirty old Rock n Roll played at full throttle and always comes back fighting track after track.
