Suplecs

SUPLECS is raw, heavy rock from New Orleans. They blend the sounds of New Orleans with their own unique style of heavy metal. Their debut album "wrestlin' with my lady friend" was released by renowned artist, Frank Kozik's label, Mansruin Records in April of 2000. It received rave reviews and in 2002 Suplecs released their 2'nd full length "sad songs…better days" on Mansruin and later re-released on This Dark Reign/Devil Doll Records. This album has the same intensity as the first with much more diversity and better production. The songs are written with room for improvising for an extra treat for the audience. Dave Fortman of Ugly Kid Joe fame produced it. He also produced other New Orleans acts such as Super Joint Ritual, Clearlight, EHG, as well as all of the major label projects he's doing right now.
"poutin' on the outside pawty on the inside" was next.This one was produced by Pepper Kennan of CoC, Down.
