In July of 2005, the band started out as little more than an idealistic dream in a rather ska-indifferent environment. Through hard work, perserverance, and copious mob payouts, The Suppressors are perched comfortably on top of a steamy mound of local support, hardened street cred, and vanquished competition. Hailed as the 'new kings of Fresno ska' (Soulsandsounds.com), Suppressors continue to entertain and awe. Having played over 75 shows since in the last 3 years, The Suppressors have definitely earned the title of hardest working ska band in the Central Valley. And with the recent release of a 2 song .45 vinyl record on a choice private label, you can bet your ovaries that there will be plenty more Suppressors ska in the horizon.
Since the inception, Suppressors have been blessed to share the stage with many, many monsters of ska & reggae including The Skatalites, Chris Murray Combo, The Aggrolites, Pato Banton, Los Hooligans, Lets Go Bowling, The Impalers, Justi-Fi and Monkey..... just to name a few. The band is comprised of well-seasoned musicians, able to hold down a stage in any venue (and more than willing to hold down some malt liquor if tested).
Its time you know whos the boss... GO SUPPRESSORS!
One of the best shows ever you got it going I like the new songs. You even did the Marcus Wesson song, I still remember you singing the tune in the truck after the 1st roller derby bout and you questioned if you should do that one. well it's good to hear that it's been done. Maybe it will get used on some documentary film about that guy. This makes me wonder how many songs have been written about killers... it's a Killer Song !
HANX for adding us. Your Pirate song has a good HOOK ( sorry for the overused pun). Hope to see you at Audies OLYMPIC Sept.13. We're playing with STAB CITY and Fay Wrays.
