MELODIC, RAW, POWERFUL SOUND is what you can expect from SUSAN SAID Led by Sue Sed, this tall, blonde, powerhouse changes all ideas you may have about a female fronted rock band. "We just wanna kick ya in the head a little, and wake yer ass up,” quotes Sed. And "wake yer ass up" is exactly what this band does well. The band's new release "Big Life" just dropped, and the official video for "I Just Don't Care" is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h9D7BwZutY on Youtube and at https://vimeo.com/107440340 on Vimeo. "On Sunday" is a not a song about the day of the weekend, but about a party girl named "Sunday." Lyrical twists like these and amazing musicianship are what keep the band on the top download charts. “Polyvinylchloride” – is a full length CD that is garnering critical praise. The first track, "Teetering on the Edge" - a cynical, humorous song about people on self-destruct missions - was picked by director Jesse Cummings to be the main theme song in his film The Full-Fledged Bastards. "Polyvinylchloride," which was engineered and co-produced by Bruce Buchanan, rose to the top 5 on numerous college radio stations. Credits include playing on bill with The Bloodhound Gang (Universal) & Caviar (Island). They also played on bill with Howie Day at Irving Plaza for the New York Comedy Film Festival starring Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch and Chevy Chase – all from NBC's Saturday Night Live. Hearing the band's ballad "Run You Away", film director Michael Corrente - (American Buffalo w/Dustin Hoffman, Outside Providence w/Alec Baldwin) decided to use this tune as the main theme song for his film Federal Hill (starring Nick Turturro). The ballad spread worldwide via the film, and has become a signature song for the band. Sed’s unmistakable melodic belt and unique songwriting are accompanied by an equally talented band of musicians. Matt Rocchio on bass and Brendan Saadat on lead guitar are as talented as they are visually stimulating to watch. Together they create a wall of sound that is tough and hair raising. You won't see or hear a better live show. Their retro CD - "We Don't Have All Day," has been released on cdbaby.com/susansaid and iTunes where fans have been downloading the very popular ballad "Run You Away” from the film Federal Hill. There is nothing like a SUSAN SAID show - They will absolutely "kick ya in the head a little, and wake yer ass up!"
