Suzzallo is a band fronted by Rocky Votolato, a musician well-known for his work in the indie scene. Unlike Votolato's previous acoustic work, Suzzallo marks a significant departure with its aggressive and expansive sound, blending fuzzed-out alternative rock to create cathartic music. The band's debut album, "The Quiet Year," released on May 2, 2025, explores themes of grief and healing following a personal tragedy. Votolato has collaborated with notable figures such as producer John Goodmanson and musician Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie, contributing to the album's distinct sound. Tracks from the album, including "River," "The Destroyer," and "Star String Radio," showcase this new musical direction.
Suzzallo's lineup includes bassist Steve Bonnell and drummer Rudy Gajadhar, forming a complete ensemble with Rocky Votolato at its core. The band's music is aimed at providing comfort and catharsis to listeners through its emotionally charged and sonically powerful songs.
