If it wasn't for the CD packaging, The Smears' first and only full-length could have been easily mistaken for a Babes in Toyland or early L7 release. Although Love Is Fer Suckers has an angsty edge of three chord punk with a lead vocalist that sometimes resembles Muff singer Kim Shatuck, the ultra screechy vocals and grungy guitar licks tend to wear thin at times. Although credit is due for their punked out tribute to Patty Duke and Bill Sienkiewicz looking cover art.
