A previously unreleased song by the Smashing Pumpkins, “SuperChrist,” is coming out on a CD featuring bands comprised of employees of Guitar Center, according to Reuters report. The album will be available from March 1 at Guitar Center outlets.
The members of the Pumpkins chose the acts appearing on the compilation based on submissions from Guitar Center. SuperChrist” did not make the cut for the Pumpkins’ 2007 album “Zeitgeist,” but has been performed on tour. It will also be the subject of a new video, premiering February 27 on MySpace. “We didn’t feel we understood the song and thought playing it on tour would help us sort it out,” frontman Billy Corgan was quoted as saying.
With songs described as “anguished, bruised reports from Bill Corgan’s nightmare-land,” the Pumpkins continue to delight alternative rock fans. The band is planning a new round of North American tour dates, with details to be announced.

Anyone who has spent a few minutes at Guitar Center knows that it is home to some of the worst music imaginable. So, some Smashing Pumpkins leftovers should fit in nicely.
