Portland pop-punkers Suzie True make fizzy, catchy, welcoming music on a DIY level. Their music is ferociously fun, and it’s usually about some real shit; there’s no contradiction there. The trio’s last album Sentimental Scum came out in 2023, and they followed it with the singles “Angel Baby” and “LEECHES (PLAY DEAD!)” last year. Suzie True will release their new LP How I Learned To Love What’s Gone next month, and its lead single opens with this line: “As long as I look 23 on my 30th birthday, everything will be all right.”
