    Suckers make this stylistic smorgasbord indisputably their own.
  2. Prefix Magazine
    80
    Suckers fire off Wild Smile, an album that exceeds all possible expectations and lays down a challenge for all debuting bands this year.
  3. Under The Radar
    80
    Sporting three singers/ multi-instrumentalists in Austin Fisher, Quinn Walker (Fisher's cousin), and Pan, along with drummer/ keyboardist Brian Aiken, there's a kaleidoscopic twist of fresh ideas throughout Wild Smile that offers something new with each trip through these tracks.
  4. Spin
    60
    At its best, Suckers' baroque pop struts confidently in glam platforms, blithely eager to please.

    This lively, loveable debut album contains some of my favourite tracks of 2010 so far. Ambitious opener 'Save Your Love For Me' is a comic masterpiece, 'Roman Candles' leaves me vigorously whistling it's melody through the streets all day and 'Black Sheep', with it's carry-me-along riff, Pixies-esque yelps and thumping bass is as great a track as I've heard this year. Unfortunately, the album suffers from being rather front-loaded. Tedious track 'It Gets Your Body Movin' is the signal that you've entered the less interesting half of the album. But the pure energy and fun of the first half make it a worthy purchase… Expand
