“Don’t Bother Me” is the first single. Lead singer Kam Franklin said via a news release that “‘Don’t Bother Me’ is a demand to be left alone by the outside world so that the wildness, fun, mistakes, and freedom that should come with being a young adult can truly be embraced.”

The first two albums from the band are titled, “Everything Here” and “The Suffers,” the titular album released in 2016, several years after the bands formation in 2011. The Suffers band members are Franklin, Juliet Terrill (bass), Kevin Bernier (guitar), Michael Razo (trombone), Jon Durbin (trumpet), Nick Zamora (drums) and Jose “Chapy” Luna (percussion).
