Having released their EP about a month ago I'm a little late jumping on the Suckers bandwagon, but I'm on it now!
Picked up by the ever impressive IAMSOUND label, the band is the latest group to meld just about everything they can find into some sort of pop that's melodic and alluring without sounding too New York. Perhaps sounding a bit like MGMT meeting a gospel choir in the church of the Cold War Kids, Suckers are anything but suckers as they don't fall for being just another indie rock band. Weaving a hypnotising blend of orchestral pop that's lush, swirling, and slightly psychedelic the four songs that make up Suckers are a spacey affair that rejoices at the fact that pop music can be so much more than just guitars, drums, and vocals.
At just four songs, Suckers is a tempting invitation in to the world of this Brooklyn band. An invitation that's hard to deny because of their dramatic ethereal pop that shoots for the stars and just about gets there. This is a great band in the making and here's hoping that a debut album is behind this short tease of a record.
In the month since the release of the EP, they've been busy getting ready to head out on the road and starting on June they'll be trekking across the country! Check them out at the following venues...
