The Suffers
Band Houston Formed 2011
The Suffers formed in 2011 in Houston. The Suffers has 5 chart appearances on 4 radio countdowns from 3 stations on RockLists, spanning 2022–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Don't Bother Me”, which appears on 3 lists with a best position of #61. The station that charted The Suffers most often is KXT (Dallas–Fort Worth, TX), with 3 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2022.
The Suffers came together in Houston in 2011, a big, brassy soul, funk and R&B outfit with Kam Franklin out front on lead vocals. Behind her sit Juliet Terrill on bass, Kevin Bernier on guitar, Nick Zamora on drums, Jose Luna on percussion, and a horn section of Jon Durbin on trumpet and Michael Razo on trombone, which is enough people to make a small room sound like a revival meeting.
It Starts With Love, from 2022, puts all of that to work. "Don't Bother Me" and "Nunya" both come off it, and both show off what a band this size can do: horns punching, the rhythm section locked tight, and Franklin singing over the top like she owns the place.
