![Suzzallo - The Quiet Year - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/f95283f2-1fd3-4df8-94d4-a80371f2d190.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Suzzallo (pronounced Süe-zahh-Low) is a new Seattle based rock band fronted by Rocky Votolato. After the devastating loss of his child in a tragic car accident, Votolato created an entire new world inside of aggressive rock songs that transmute extreme grief into something healing and beautiful. Suzzallo's debut album InchThe Quiet YearInch is an explosive eulogy filled with cathartic alt-rock anthems that bring the energy of the 90's back to life. This a return to form for Votolato, who Rolling Stone once lauded as having a Inch nuanced command of the folk idiomInch, but who started out playing in heavier bands gaining an underground cult following in the PNW punk and hardcore scene for his early work in Waxwing. Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie / The Postal Service) is featured on several songs, lending his incredible talents to the album with beautifully placed back-up vocals, electric guitar, bass 6, and piano. With Rudy Gajadhar joining on drums (ex-Waxwing), Steve Bonnell on bass (ex-Schoolyard Heroes) and teaming up with legendary producer John Goodmanson, Suzzallo recently finished recording their debut album at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, WA - due out in the spring of 2025.
