Suspect's sophomore album, "The Boy Who Died Wolf" (released in November via 300 Entertainment), Highly Suspect, debuted at #1 on Billboard's Alternative album chart. Highly Suspect is quickly proving to be a fan favorites with their progressive, bluesy rock sound, attitude and powerful vocals.
Born out of the bustling indie rock-centric borough of Brooklyn, NYC, the Cape Cod-bred rockers formed around the talents of Johnny Stevens (guitar, vocals, synths) and twin siblings Ryan (drums, vocals) and Rich (bass, vocals) Meyer.
The band's debut album, Mister Asylum, also produced by Joel Hamilton (Black Keys, Elvis Costello) earned them two Grammy nominations for 'Best Rock Song' and 'Best Rock' Album.
