SUCKERS | WILD SMILE
Brooklyn four-piece Suckers take a range of elements from glam and R&B to African rhythms and ‘90s indie rock that make Wild Smile an energetic, unique and damn entertaining album to listen to. Produced by Yeasayer’s Anand Wilder, the tracks on Wild Smile combine big anthemic songs with world percussion and frontman Quinn Walker’s agile vocals that are incredibly meaty and complex. Many bands right now have a “tribal indie” sound, but Suckers seems to have found a way to do it incredibly well – even better – than many of their peers. Standout tracks include “Save Your Love For Me,” and “Martha” and “Roman Candles.” – Written by DBosket

SUCKERS | SUCKERS EP
The Brooklyn-based quartet Suckers echo indie pop bands of the past like the Talking Heads and Television and contemporaries like Yeasayer’s, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and TV On The Radio. Their self-titled debut EP features clean reverb-drenched guitars, off-kilter drumbeats, subtle horns, keyboards, sing-a-long group harmonies, whistling and other playful noises. The Suckers’ eclectic upbeat sound immediately brings a smile to my face – keep an eye out for their full-length.
