Supersuckers / Tenderloin - Mother Mary / Leave This Town (7" / Sub Pop / SP384 / 1996)
Both covers of Thin Lizzy songs.
01 - Supersuckers - Mother Mary - Don't know the original but this version is ok. Standard Supersuckers fare - sounds like one of their own songs - something they would have put out during the "All The Songs Sound The Same" era! If you want to hear the Supersuckers properly though, buy one of their albums and don't bother with this.
02 - Tenderloin - Leave This Town - Who the FUCK are Tenderloin? Funnily enough, with that San Francisco moniker they remind me of someone I saw at the Covered Wagon in March. Perfect to play to a drunk beer-swilling crowd in a sleazy back room. Just don't forget "only one dollar for the Peep Show!" The song? Again, I don't know the original but it's the better of the two on this 7".
5 / 10
