Ska Rock band from Houston, Texas, USA. Formed in 1993 by Bill Grady and Charlie Esparza, the band played their first show at the long-gone “club” Hoi Polloi on October 3, 1993. After many years of hard work and dedication (and a few months of internal strife), The Suspects broke up in August of 2002. They played two reunion shows after their breakup: January 19, 2007 and December 23, 2007, both at the Continental Club in Houston, Texas. After thinking about it for a few months, The Suspects decided you can’t ignore a good thing and announced their return to a full-time schedule in the summer of 2008. As of 2013, the band is still active and playing shows throughout Houston, Texas.
