There is NO SuperCharger Album 36 Self Pity And Doubt

This is Album #36 from There is NO SuperCharger. If you're not familiar with the band, you may want to start with ALBUM ZERO. It's a best-of compilation that showcases the nuggets of mediocrity from the mountain of crap that is the There is no SuperCharger Discography.

There is NO SuperCharger is an improvisational rock band active between 2006 and 2010 in Chicago, Illinois. Despite having never played live, the band recorded over 50 albums in their rehearsal studio over this time. The exact album count is officially unknown, as many of the original recordings have since gone missing and possibly may have never existed in the first place. The band calls their music Improvisational Rock and Roll. All songs are entirely improvised by the band with zero discussion of the chords, mood or theme of the song ahead of time.

There is NO SuperCharger is:
▪ Stafford Huyler as "NETBOY STAFFO" (Guitar/Bass/Vocals)
▪ Flint Chiovari as "FLINT-THE-FISH" (Drums/Vocals)
▪ Rich Feldhaus as "DICK DIGITAL" (Guitar/Baritone/Bass/Vocals)

The three core members of There is NO SuperCharger initially agreed to play an improvised jam to test a new multi-track recording device obtained for their rehearsal space. This jam is now available as Album #01: Testing New Multi-Track Recording Equipment.

There is NO SuperCharger music includes influences from wildly varying musical genres and vocal themes, all presented with a patchwork of improvised, self-aware vocal themes that speak directly to the listener right where they sit, in real time. The typical TiNSC album includes a "Welcome to our Album" main theme followed by statements of admiration for the fans and self-degrading sentiments about the quality of the music and the bands' own playing. Lyrics suggesting that anyone actually listening to the music immediately turn-off, unplug or otherwise destroy their playback equipment are common.

Over time, the band entered an obsessive phase over the lyrical concept of leveraging the band catalog and identity for e-commerce sales initiatives. Song themes were presented with regularity that describe complex campaigns to monetize the band catalog, create a multi-tiered fan-club and auction off chances for fans to perform with the band on future albums.

After 39 albums, the band decided to take a break so that the members could each explore their own album as a solo artist. At this time, it was agreed that all solo material would be performed exclusively by There Is NO Supercharger as the backing band. The resulting music began to suffer as the solo material seemed to pit the band against itself. Where early-era TiNSC music recordings expressed a solidarity between members, the solo album sessions only served to pit band members against each other. Disturbing acts of sabotage were common during these recordings. Despite playing every note together, the band members became more isolated than ever from one another. Recordings continued to be made however, but the results of this agonizing recording project were instantly archived and heard by no one.

After the solo album period, the band limped along at a much slower pace, filling out the discography to a total of over 50 albums.

In late 2025, DICK DIGITAL began to rebuild the complete There is NO SuperCharger catalog in an effort to finally share this music, flawed as it is, with the world. In addition to the complete catalog release, a Best-Of compilation called "ALBUM ZERO" will be produced to help guide listeners through the mountain of crap that is their discography and on to the few nuggets of sheer mediocrity that lie within it.
