Album Notes

"Ever wondered what The Dictators crossed with The Records with Brenda Lee singing might sound like? Well, you stopped by the right place. These guys ain't dealing in nostalgia. This album features future classics that could actually please all of the people all of the time"

This is an excerpt from the liner notes on Suzy & Los Quattro's new album, "Stick With It" (WPR/Screaming Apple 2008), penned by Lindsay Hutton, founder of the legendary magazine The Next Big Thing and collaborator in MOJO or SOUNDS.
The record has been produced by California pop-genius Robbie Rist (The Mockers, Wonderboy)and mixed by Blind Joes (Sidonie, Love Of Lesbian). Tim Cross (The Adverts, Mike Olfield) contributed with keyboards on all the album.

"Stick With It" is a great step forward on the band's career, who have proofed they can beat any obstacle after two years of line-up changes. Now working as a four-piece, the band plans an extensive tour that will take them to 9 different countries.
Musically speaking, the band sticks to their magic formula of catchy pop songs fuelled with crunchy guitars, you only have to listen to Crazy On The Phone or Because Of You to realize they still have it when it comes to writing immediate hits. But something has changed, this time the production and arrangements are absolutely top of the notch and, without totally losing the grip on punkpop, Suzy & Los Quattro have this time broadened their horizons to a lot of the sounds they worship so much as die-hard music fans. H.A.T.E! is soaked wet in glam, winking an eye to bands like The Sweet, Slade and featuring some guitars likely to remind you of "Billion Dollar Babes" by Alice Cooper. Too Late will get your feet on the dance-floor like the more disco Blondie did on the 70's and The Sounds have done recently. But Suzy & Los Quattro don't forget their 60's pop heritage, and have penned the wonderful ballad Maybe I'm Wrong, that would surely make Phil Spector proud with two pianos, strings, horns and the like playing over Suzy Chain's voice, shining through every track of this album like never before. Of course they didn't miss their date with new-wave in cuts like Go On, which might remind you of Baby Let's Twist with Chrissie Hynde on lead vocals. And for the more straight-forward crowd, tracks likeComeback Superstar will please the surfers and Rock Boys (dig those harmonies!) will do it for the rock'n'rollers. Special mention to Donna Donna, an amazing track with one of the catchiest choruses ever, dedicated to Donna, a rescue dog that recently became part of the Quattro-Chain family, and that will be linked to animal rights camapaigns.

This album should consolidate all the things that Suzy & Los Quattro got from their first album,"Ready To Go!" (2004), which got raving reviews and was licensed in Germany and Japan. During 2005 they embarked on a 2 weeks japanese "Lipstick To Japan Tour", which confirmed their "pop idols" status in the land of rising sun, selling out two nights in Tokyo and receiving an almost beatlesque warm welcome. You can see it for yourself on their Lipstick To Japan video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vygzxCQHViU

This tour was followed by a compilation of all their singles, "The Singles" (2006), a record that kept them on the road again, playing two times at the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool, where John Otway from the BBC included their show on his top 10 of the festival (out of 150 bands on the bill!).

After the release of "Stick With It", the band has done over 90 shows in many different countries like Japan, Germany, UK or Italy, and are now rewady to take over the rest of Europe at the top of their ability, totally warmed-up after so many shows and delivering their best performances to date.

So for any Ramones / Blondie / Beach Boys / Raspberries fan, here's your new favourite band!
