Style
The Suffers define their sound as Gulf Coast Soul, a term they define as resulting from the mixture of the different cultures and musical styles present around the Gulf coast and the city of Houston, including Cajun, African American, Mexican, Caribbean, which all come together and mix in the port city. They have said that their biggest influence is their environment and all of the musical styles they encounter (blues, soul, country, caribbean music, cajun styles, and hip hop, among others).
Biography
= Origin
=The Suffers formed in Houston in 2011, and was started by Adam Castaneda and Pat Kelly. The two had played together for some time in other bands before coming together for a new concept that would eventually become The Suffers. The band was originally envisioned as a Reggae cover band, but the group grew, adding various musicians and evolving in style.
Their name comes from the 1978 Jamaican film Rockers. During their February 9, 2016 appearance on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, lead singer Kam Franklin stated "Its a reference to an old Jamaican film called The Rockers. And in that film, the artists are actually the sufferers. The major labels aren't doing what they could be doing to make sure they get their just deserved things. And you know, I feel like us as artists we've been working for so long with no real reward or attention probably until recently..."
Since 2011, the band has grown in popularity and has garnered international awards and recognition.
