The Suffers

The Suffers is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Khruangbin. Those roots explain a lot about how The Suffers arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Lake Street Dive, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, The Dip, Joss Stone and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Bun B, Galactic, Lake Street Dive, Julian Marley and Thievery Corporation, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 33 connections around The Suffers, reaching back through Khruangbin and forward to Bun B.
