History

The band recorded the album while living together for several weeks in a studio in Argyle, New York. The band chose to self-record the album, with Gray engineering and mixing the songs. The official CD release party took place January 18 in Albany, NY. The performance was filmed for an as of yet unreleased live DVD. [2]

Critical reception

Big Suspicious has been called 'vintage' rock with its "meaty guitar riffs, organ, tambourine and cowbell. Soaring vocals, infectious hooks. This is the stuff that was designed to move a party and still does." [3]
