"We all need a little fuel to get the engine going every now and then, and 'Gwan' is that fuel."

From the very first notes of "Gwan," the newly recorded track by Houston Press Music Award winners the Suffers, the listener is hit with the "we mean business" attitude and brilliant power that fans have come to love and expect. "Gwan" is the first single off the group's much-anticipated and soon-to-be-released full-length debut album.

Check it out below:

After a successful summer debut of their first single, the vinyl 7-inch featuring the tracks "Slow It Down"/"Step Aside," the band continues their charming ways. Loaded with seductive vocals, brilliant horns and groovy rhythms, "Gwan" doesn't take it slow one bit. In case you're curious, the title "Gwan" is derivative of the Jamican Patois for "going on", which in this case is slang for getting your partner worked up in order to "get down."
