Electric Frankenstein – The Time Is Now (1995)

Electric Frankenstein is an American band from Whippany, Clifton, and other areas of New Jersey. Their music is generally considered punk rock, but includes elements of hard rock and Heavy Metal as well. Because of this, they have sometimes been referred to as AC/DC meets The Dead Boys. Their style of music is generally called High Energy Punk Rock & Roll, which combines the raw and energetic sounds of Punk Rock and Garage Punk (Dead Boys, Ramones, Damned, Misfits, etc.) with elements of Hard Rock played by bands like MC5, Stooges, AC/DC, Kiss, Mott the Hoople, Alice Cooper, and so on.

The Time Is Now is their first album, released in 1995 and deserves a spot in your punk rock collection.

Supersuckers – The Evil Powers of Rock ‘n’ Roll (1999)

The Supersuckers are an American rock band. They are the self-proclaimed “Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band in the World.”

Before I say anything else, allow me to say this is one of the best punk rock n roll album ever recorded and this planet is a better place because of bands like The Supersuckers. Fa real.

The Evil Powers of Rock N Roll is the fifth studio recording by the American rock and roll band The Supersuckers. It was released October 19, 1999 on KOCH records.

The Evil Powers of Rock N Roll if you do not own it and consider yourself a fan of punk rock, something is terribly wrong.

Zeke – Til The Living End (2004)

Zeke is an American punk band from Seattle, Washington formed in 1993. They are known for their extremely fast, energetic guitar sound. Zeke mixes this with strong influences from hard rock, and occasionally blues-rock, and are often compared to Motörhead.

The album Zeke – ‘Til The Living End remains a great punk rock album. I have followed the band for years, picking up almost every thing they have released – and while the band has matured the basic premise is still there and the musicianship greater than ever.
