notes
Dave Suh, former lead guitarist for Chicago rock bands Caviar (Island/Def Jam Records) and Woolworthy (Boss Tuneage Records), has decided to unleash his own growing catalog of Brit-pop inspired tunes by forming and fronting his own band, The Assembly. In doing so, he has enlisted the help of powerhouse drummer Mike Zuffante (former Organic drummer), bassist Gary Gustovich, and his brother, multi-instrumentalist, Nathan Suh. Nathan recently moved back to Chicago from Los Angeles to play keyboards and guitar.
The band has recently been on Q101's Crash Test Radio, Local 101, and Mancow's Morning Madhouse, as well as Fearless Radio's Live Music Binge.
The new album, "Commencement" (Electronic Battleship Records), was released in November and was produced by Josiah Mazzaschi (Light FM singer/genius) and mixed by Alex Kemp (Assassins bassist/guru). The cd can be found at Reckless Records, Lori's Planet of Sound, Record Emporium, Hard-Boiled Records, and online at CDBABY.COM.

The Assembly has a sound that fits the time and is all their own at the same time. They really have a sound reminiscent of the great brit pop bands of the 80's (the smiths, depeche mode, the cure) without being a boring rehash of days gone by. The haunting and unique vocals, great effects, wonderful arrangements, all make this a band to expect great things from in the future. With all the radio appeal this music has I'm amazed they're not on regular rotation across North America. My only beef is I want more songs. I can't wait to hear what these guys do next.
Top-notch performance and production
