Catching up with Houston soul band The Suffers

HOUSTON – Gulf Coast soul band The Suffers joined our H-town sitdown and revealed how they are reinventing themselves with their new album.

Lead singer Kam Franklin, guitarist Kevin Bernier, and drummer Nick Zamora talked about making music during the COVID-19 pandemic and gave us details on The Suffers’ third album, It Starts With Love, which will be released on June 3.

The new single is “Don’t Bother Me,” a fun anthem of empowerment inspired by Miami Sound Machine and Sly and The Family Stone.

The group also tackles serious topics in tracks like “How Do We Heal,” considered “a poignant question on enduring racial violence in America.”

The group performed the song live in our studio, and you see their performance in the video below.
