Description
The electrifying eight piece wonder-band The Suffers bring gulf coast soul to the world with 'Everything Here'.

The Suffers have got everything you need and there's no need to look further - a heaping dose of soul, a dash of reggae, a splash of jazz, a pinch of salsa, a hint of rock 'n' roll and a dollop of hip hop and funk - and that is just a few ingredients simmering inside their magical Gulf Coast soul.

'Everything Here', a riveting collection of fifteen originals that gives props to Houston (there are even cameos from Houston rappers Paul Wall and Bun B), explores the many sides of love, celebrates the virtues of individuality, reminds us of the destruction of Harvey and resilience of the human spirit and declares love for their mothers. All of these themes coalesce into one soulful soundtrack. The band co-produced the album with John Allen Stephens and Zeke Listenbee co-produced on several tracks. Trombonist Michael Razo explains, "One of our goals was to have the songs on the album flow or tie into each other. Like creating an album where you just press play and let it go without having to skip to the next song."

"Soul, straight from the heartâ€¦the band
is on fire." - Bob Boilen, NPR

Hailing from Houston, Texas and fronted by the amazingly gifted Ms. Kam Franklin, the eight-piece, early seventies-style retro-soul has vibes and talent to burn." - Echoes

Percussionist Jose Luna says, "The glue that holds us together is our experience. We have all played with so many bands and musicians through the years that we have learned how not to step on each others toes."

"A winning combination of a talented, charismatic singer and a full-bodied band
that knows how to ramp up the energy or slow drag a couple to the bedroom" - Soul Tracks
