All Day Sucker is the new California sound. Their music is an inspired take on the sounds of the classic rock era re-imagined for modern ears. A treasure trove made up of expertly crafted pop songs, layered with influences ranging from ELO, Elvis Costello to The Eagles, Elton John and that's just the E's!
“As musicians, we use the framework of pop music aesthetics to make pop music wonderful, be it through song structure, melody or harmonies,” All Day Sucker singer Morty Coyle states. “We’ve been praying at the altar of pop music our entire lives. Now we’re ready to take our place in the church.”
All Day Sucker are brimming with heady, street-smart yet refreshingly sweet, sophisticated melodic rock. What gives their instantly memorable hooks a soulful resonance are sharp musicianship and a grounded lyrical sense that illuminates mature, authentic feelings.
This isn’t a group conceived in a flash-in-the pan marketing plan, or thrown together to appeal to someone’s idea of a target demographic. Core members singer Morty Coyle and keyboardist Jordan Summers started playing together in high school, fronting bands that cut its teeth in jazz, as well as pop, R&B, new wave and blues classics. While recording original material, they became an underground sensation, performing those jaw-dropping covers at Canter’s Kibitz room open jam in Hollywood.
Eventually, Coyle and Summers decided to get serious with their music career and formed All Day Sucker—although they almost gave that name away. “During rehearsals, we realized that we didn’t have a name, then someone mentioned the Stevie Wonder song, ‘All Day Sucker,’ and we all thought it would be a great name for a band,” Summers recalls. “At the same time, we were friends with Maroon 5, who were originally known as Kara’s Flowers—but they didn’t like their name. We told them to use All Day Sucker, but they told us to use it. It went back and forth for a while until we settled on our respective names.”
With band name in hand, they continued to hone their original material, showcasing their improving musical chops and wizened lyrical perspective. “It was an evolutionary thing,” Summers says. “After listening too much to others early on, we decided to trust our own instincts, bringing in more of our personalities and presenting more rock-pop harmonies that people like to listen to.”
“The difference in our music is as stark as comparing a sandbox star with a professional athlete,” Coyle adds. “In our early songs, we were a force of adolescent hero worship. We were trying to be something that we wanted to be, not what we were. When we finally started All Day Sucker, we wanted to truly represent what we are. Our influences include everything we've ever heard whether it was rock, pop, soul, jazz, show tunes, TV themes or any other music that has fallen on our ears.
Blessed with great songs, sharp chops, a cunning attitude and a mature sense of self, All Day Sucker is ready to venture into the seen-it-all music scene and emerge as a fresh, clever and unique musical presence. “Jordan and I have never been completely starry-eyed about this, as there always has been a certain level of understanding of what we were doing,” Coyle says. “Now we realize that it’s a much a folly for a 30-year-old to sing about hating his parents, as it is for a 16-year-old to explain what’s it’s like to live in real world. At a certain point in your creative life, you have to speak with your own voice. All Day Sucker has enabled us to find our voice.” With a feature article in Rolling Stone, as well as raves in Details, Detour, and many favorable words in the Los Angeles Times, they are known as a “great band, with great musicians, who were even better songwriters”.
“Melodies and lyrics make an impact no matter what style they are in. A good song is a good song and will be remembered far after we are gone. Hey, that kind of rhymes. But can you dance to it?”

Thank you! that's so funny...maybe I need a PR company for my PR company. I love it. Sometimes I am doing so much to get the bands' music out there, I forget about getting myself & my business out there. But really anytime I am working on PR for the bands, it's still PR for myself. Stay in touch. I love what you're doing.
I heard you guys on fame games. I like what I hear from you guys. They interviewed me last week about my PR. I am scared to listen to myself! :) They are interviewing me again next week.
