The Suckers are good. Real good. The Brooklyn band’s four-song self-titled EP--released in April--was produced by TV On The Radio and Yeah Yeah Yeahs producer Chris Moore and Anand Wilder of Yeasayer. The song “Easy Chair” is filled with wild background harmonies, handclaps, and horns in the same chaotic organization of Man Man. But the Suckers sound, even after listening to just one song, is one that’s distinctively their own. Take a listen below. And make sure to also check out “It Gets Your Body Movin,” a slow building energetic sing-along. You can find it below on iTunes.

This was a good show, but yes, it was HOT. I wanted to focus on the music, but I was dying in there…

Courtney Love is a neurotic, drug addled, fame whore. She should focus on seeking professional help. Courtney - substantiate your allegations in court, or shut up.
Ryan Adams is a talented songwriter, and has an alert and inquisitive mind. He is also a gentleman.
