[1] AllMusic describes the band as "the bastard sons of Foghat, AC/DC, and ZZ Top after being weaned on punk rock, unafraid of massive guitar riffs, outsized personalities, or pledging allegiance to sex, weed, and Satan with a wink and a nudge.

[2] In 1989, they moved to Seattle, Washington because a friend told them there were a ton of clubs to play and you could wear your leather jacket in the Summer.

[7] In 1995, guitarist Heathman temporarily left the band and was replaced by Rick Sims, formerly of the Didjits (and later the Gaza Strippers), for the recording of their third album, The Sacrilicious Sounds of the Supersuckers, which was produced by Paul Leary.

This album introduced new members "Metal" Marty Chandler on guitar and Christopher "Chango" von Streicher on drums.

[21] In 2015, Eddie Spaghetti recovered from a cancer diagnosis,[22] while the only other remaining original member of the band, Dan Bolton, departed and was not replaced.

[2] Now a trio with Spaghetti, Chandler, and von Streicher, the Supersuckers experimented with country music again in the 2015 album Holdin' the Bag.

[25] The album Play That Rock N' Roll, recorded at Willie Nelson's home studio in Austin, Texas, was released by Acetate / Steamhammer in February 2020.
