Suzzallo (pronounced Sue-Zuh-Low) is a new Seattle based rock band fronted byRocky Votolato. After the devastating loss of his child in a tragic car accident, Votolatocreated an entire new world inside of aggressive rock songs that transmute extremegrief into something healing and beautiful. Suzzallo’s debut album “The Quiet Year” isan explosive eulogy filled with cathartic alt-rock anthems that bring the energy of the90’s back to life.This a return to form for Votolato, who Rolling Stone once lauded as having a “nuancedcommand of the folk idiom”, but who started out playing in louder bands, like Waxwing,who gained an underground cult following in the mid-2000s Pacific Northwest punk andhardcore scene. Suzzallo’s music taps into that same spirit: blistering guitars, soaringchoruses, and poignantly impactful lyrics–all with a volume and intensity that surpassesany of Votolato’s previous work.With Rudy Gajadhar joining on drums (ex-Waxwing), Steve Bonnell on bass (ex-Schoolyard Heroes) and teaming up with legendary producer John Goodmanson(Sleater-Kinney, The Blood Brothers, Unwound) Suzzallo recently finished recordingtheir debut album at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, WA - due out on Thirty SomethingRecords in the spring of 2025. Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie / The Postal Service)is featured on several songs, lending his incredible talents to the album with beautifullyplaced back-up vocals, electric guitar, bass 6, and piano.
