"This band's shouty, raucous noise rock is both aggressive and relentless, only slightly softened by guitarist Andrea Havis' backing vocals."

"With epic construction and passionate wails, these are the art-rockers we've been praying for since the Pixies."

Time Out NY (March '08)
"Local trio Susu covers a lot of ground on the recent WIN, from dreamy and dramatic to scuzzy and sludgy. Whatever the mood, though, the band plays with primal force."

Aquarium Drunkard (March '08)

"Susu is the type of band who is further refining a well-established and respected sound. Do they do it well? Well, for a first EP, absolutely. “Anarchitect” opens with the kind of precise, hungry, simmering rock and roll that propelled Greensboro’s Tiger Bear Wolf into my Top 25 Albums of 2005 list. It’s music that seems unbalanced, chaotic and furious."

"In many ways, the art-punk group Susu embodies the spirit of old New York. Their songs wallop like billy clubs to the back of the head. They play nude modeling shows and have a love/hate relationship with their home city. Their lyrics hew closely to what Mark E. Smith called the "three r's": repetition, repetition, repetition. But instead of being off-putting, all that hammering and hollering becomes engrossing; there's an urgency to the band's songs that makes every lyric sound like a last desperate plea before the bombs go off."

Susu's Hands Up (The Race) , from the Win EP, is a fuzzy and gorgeous example of experimental guitar rock.

The intensely loud, epic and barking "Hands Up (The Race)" jumps out immediately. "I've got MY/ Hands UP!" and "Get! Your! Handssssup!" yelps singer/bassist Michael Andrew as Andrea Havis' guitar and Oliver Rivera-Drew's drums swirl, clash and implode around him. From there it fits and starts, churning, chugging and soaring a bit like Unwound's best moment, "For Your Entertainment" off of Repetition.

L Magazine (Feb '08)
"In Susu, we believe we've got a NYC band that deserves to be watched. They do psych-pop with a bit more of an edge than you'd expect."

The Deli Magazine
"One of the great things about Susu is that they're absolutely riveting to watch, because each of the three members has a compelling stage presence."

"One of those bands that makes me want to start a record label just so I can be sure (they're) recording more music and getting it out there for more people to hear."
