Susto (which the band usually capitalizes as SUSTO) is an American indie rock[1] band from Charleston, South Carolina.[2]

The name of the band is from the Spanish word "susto", meaning "an intense fear understood as a condition of the soul", reflecting the Cuban roots of some of the band, as well as being drawn from letters in the band leader's name.[3]

History

[edit]

Susto began in 2014 with the release of a self-titled album on the record label Hearts & Plugs.[4][5][6] Susto released their second full-length album titled & I'm Fine Today on ACID BOYS and Missing Piece Records.[7][8][9] Their third album, Ever Since I Lost My Mind, was released on February 22, 2019, on Rounder Records.[10] A fourth album, Time in the Sun, was released on October 29, 2021 with New West Records.[11] Their fifth album, My Entire Life, was released on July 28, 2023, preceded by singles "My Entire Life", "Hyperbolic Jesus", and "Mermaid Vampire".[12][13]

In April 2018 Susto performed at the High Water Festival in North Charleston, South Carolina.[14]

In March 2019 Susto performed at Antone's Georgia Theatre in Austin, TX for the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.[15]
