Great name for a band
Suspicious Support
The story
Suspicious Support came into existence in the grimy underbelly of Chicago in 2011. Its bandmates, Jake, a disillusioned telemarketer with a love for funk, and Lisa, a charismatic bartender who had been singing since she was five, were looking for an escape from their monotonous 9-to-5 lives. Jake spotted Lisa during a late-night karaoke session at the bar she worked at, and the two bonded over their shared dreams of making music that moves people. They soon decided to form a band, combining Jake's groovy bass lines and Lisa's soulful voice to create a unique sound. They chose the name 'Suspicious Support,' a nod to Jake's previous job and their mutual skepticism towards the status quo.
Voicemail Blues
Verse 1 Am7 - Em7 - Dm7 - G7 In a world full of noise, sitting alone, Lost in the crowd, yet so alone. Can't find the words, couldn't find the tone, Life’s a dial tone, on a broken phone. Chorus Cmaj7 - F7 - Bm7 - E7 Listening to your voicemail blues, Late nights, old fights, and your goodbyes. Hearing your voice through the lines, Wishing for a sign, in these trying times. Verse 2 Am7 - Em7 - Dm7 - G7 Staring at the screen, waiting for a call, In the silence of the night, against the wall. The echo of your laugh, the memory of your fall, Trapped within the four walls, in this lonely hall. Chorus Cmaj7 - F7 - Bm7 - E7 Listening to your voicemail blues, Empty promises, fading hues, Your voice is a melody, I wish I could use, In the symphony of life, that’s hard to peruse.

Our favorite fan is Debbie, a hardworking nurse from Chicago. She shared with us how our music helped her through some really testing times in her life. She says, "Suspicious Support's music is like a breath of fresh air. It's raw, it's real, and it reaches out to the soul. 'Voicemail Blues' particularly resonates with me, the lyrics speak a language that my heart understands. It does not sugarcoat the realities of life, but somehow, it brings comfort in its honesty. It's like having a friend who understands your unvoiced struggles."
