The Mooney Suzuki came roaring out of New York City in 1996 as a proper garage rock band, the kind that believes in loud amps and songs that get in, get sweaty and get out. The original four were Sammy James Jr. on vocals and guitar, Graham Tyler on guitar, John Paul Ribas on bass and Will Rockwell-Scott on drums.
They made their case over four studio albums: People Get Ready in 2000, Electric Sweat in 2003, Alive & Amplified in 2004 and Have Mercy in 2007. Alive & Amplified is the one that got them onto rock radio, its title track a big, brash, fist-pumping blast that sounds built for a crowd to shout back.
The lineup has shifted over the years, but the core has held: James and Rockwell-Scott are still at it, now with Chris Isom on guitar and Reno Bo on bass.
