    "Stick With It" is a great step forward on the band's career, who have proofed they can beat any obstacle after two years of line-up changes. Now working as a four-piece, the band plans an extensive tour that will take them to 9 different countries.
    Musically speaking, the band sticks to their magic formula of catchy pop songs fuelled with crunchy guitars, you only have to listen to Crazy On The Phone or Because Of You to realize they still have it when it comes to writing immediate hits. But something has changed, this time the production and arrangements are absolutely top of the notch and, without totally losing the grip on punkpop, Suzy & Los Quattro have this time broadened their horizons to a lot of the sounds they worship so much as die-hard music fans. H.A.T.E! is soaked wet in glam, winking an eye to bands like The Sweet, Slade and featuring some guitars likely to remind you of "Billion Dollar Babes" by Alice Cooper. Too Late will get your feet on the dance-floor like the more disco Blondie did on the 70's and The Sounds have done recently. But Suzy & Los Quattro don't forget their 60's pop heritage, and have penned the wonderful ballad Maybe I'm Wrong, that would surely make Phil Spector proud with two pianos, strings, horns and the like playing over Suzy Chain's voice, shining through every track of this album like never before. Of course they didn't miss their date with new-wave in cuts like Go On, which might remind you of Baby Let's Twist with Chrissie Hynde on lead vocals. And for the more straight-forward crowd, tracks like Comeback Superstar will please the surfers and Rock Boys (dig those harmonies!) will do it for the rock'n'rollers. Special mention to Donna Donna, an amazing track with one of the catchiest choruses ever, dedicated to Donna, a rescue dog that recently became part of the Quattro-Chain family, and that will be linked to animal rights camapaigns.

    And watch out for the ending, Henry Rollins, as it is the best proof of the new versatility level the band has reached, a fully a capella track done exclusively with Suzy and B.B. Quattro's vocals and dedicated to the tough and muscled DC singer.

    This album should consolidate all the things that Suzy & Los Quattro got from their first album, "Ready To Go!" (2004), which got raving reviews and was licensed in Germany and Japan. During 2005 they embarked on a 2 weeks japanese "Lipstick To Japan Tour", which confirmed their "pop idols" status in the land of rising sun, selling out two nights in Tokyo and receiving an almost beatlesque warm welcome. You can see it for yourself on their Lipstick To Japan video here www.youtube.com/watch?v=vygzxCQHViU

    This tour was followed by a compilation of all their singles, "The Singles" (2006), a record that kept them on the road again, playing two times at the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool, where John Otway from the BBC included their show on his top 10 of the festival (out of 150 bands on the bill!).

    So for any Ramones / Blondie / Beach Boys / Raspberries fan, here's your new favourite band!

CRAZY ON THE PHONE There's something I need to know Do you have to start fights anytime I'm away from ho-o-me? I can tell your fuse has blown over the telephone all you do is complain and tell me off You keep on saying "if you loved me so you'd never ever want to let me go" Now anytime I'm away from you You keep telling me I´m untrue Cause you're always goin' crazy on the phone You tell me that my heart is made of stone you wish that I would stay there so you are not alone Anytime I'm doin something on my own Hear the ringing and I stop dead having fun I know that you'll be moaning about things I´ve never done Then we'll be crazy on the phone! All the things you liked from me are the same that you hate now so tell me who's goin' nuts in here It´s gone on for much too long so I'm not coming back there's no way I will ever change my mind When I see your name is flashing on my screen I'm ready for a war I'll never win and here you come again, you're going crazy on the phone

Rock Boys 03:52
I never listened to my mum when she said you'll never find the right one if you're always on the run But I'm into R'n'R and I try to make the most every minute of my days days go by and I guess I wonder why Nice good boys I see them come and go Nice good boys not what I'm looking for Rock Boys always up for good times they make your life more fun Rock Boys always good one more time not some mama's son Rock Boys, they always turn me on I travelled all around the world giving every boy a TV eye but, ended up a lonely girl But I'm into R'n'R and I 'm never gonna stop Singing in a rockin’ band Dates go by and I guess they wonder why Nice good boys, they leave me all undone Nice good boys, not what I’m looking for Rock Boys always up for good times they make your life more fun Rock Boys wanna make them all mine Rock Boys never done Nice Boys never find the right way to get into my heart but Rock Boys they always turn me on. I always bothered mum when I'd pass up money fame and fortune for the beating of these drums Cause I'm into RnR and I'm gonna make the most every minute of my days They'll go by and I'll never wonder why, wonder why... Rock Boys always up for good time they make your life more fun Rock Boys wanna make them all mine Rock Boys never done Nice Boys never find the right way to get into my heart but Rock Boys they'll make us NUMBER ONE!

Donna Donna 02:58
Got a furry lil' friend that I just can't help adore- She'll never stab me in my back like so many did before Her name is Donna Yeah, she's my dog Before I knew her everything I did was a bore I know my feelings And I'm so sure I'm gonna love her like Ive never loved before People like you say that I'm just a crazy fool for these feelings I cant hide Don't you understand that you'll never be so cool And no matter how you try, try Baby baby you are never gonna beat my dog! DONNA DONNA, I'm so happy I can call you my friend DONNA DONNA, 'Cause I wouldn't trust in nobody else DONNA DONNA, now nobody's gonna let you down again You can fight until you fall but you'll never win this war Cause no matter what you do you'll always be ignored She's my number one People like you say that I'm just a crazy fool but these feelings I cant hide Don't you understand that you'll never be as cool And no matter how you try, try Baby baby you are never gonna beat my dog! DONNA DONNA, I'm so happy I can call you my friend DONNA DONNA, 'Cause I wouldn't trust in nobody else DONNA DONNA, now nobody's gonna let you down again

H.A.T.E! 03:32
I always thought you were the boy i saw in my dreams, but soon I found out nothing's what it seems I used to lie awake at night just thinking of you, now I sleep like a log cause I know we're through But if you wonder bout my feelings there's one I still have for you You had me rockin and a reeling, now I wish it was you hanging from my ceiling I hate you cause I loved you too much I came to life the moment we touched I hate you from the bottom of my heart I didn't see it coming when you started to cheat you looked so nice, really charming and sweet Now if I ever see you walking down on my street Now you better look out cause you're gonna get beat And if you wonder how I'm dealing I am glad I got rid of you No more rockin' and a reeling Gonna write me some songs, I'm gonna make a killing! I hate you cause I loved you too much I came to life the moment we touched I hate you from the bottom of my heart I hate you cause I loved you too much I knew you were a little touched you left me torn apart I hate you from the bottom of my heart I’m telling you that this is just a start, From the bottom of my heart.

Maybe I'm wrong to think there's cool stuff to be done Maybe I'm wrong to feel like I'm not growing old like I'm told All this time's gone by and I still don't wear a tie Maybe I'm wrong, I'm still having fun Maybe I'm wrong to follow feelings in my heart Maybe I'm wrong to choose a way that many feel isn't smart It's taken so long to become the one I dreamt when I was young Fear is all gone, so that can't be wrong It was strange to realize I could rule things in my life so maybe I'm wrong, but I feel so strong Maybe they're wrong to see the world in black and white Maybe I'm wrong to hope this darkness finally turns into light It might be an uphill climb, but I know it's right this time Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm wrong So I come to realize it's nobody's but my life if I'm on my own that can't be wrong I just know my future's bright so to hell with wrong or right Maybe I'm wrong, I don't think I'm wrong.

I could be alone Feeling everything is wrong But the thing is I won't! For so long so sure that I was done Being no one's only one Always out of contro-ol! Was giving in to being sad Everything was dark and lonely Now I know there's a tomorrow cause of you It was looking pretty bad It was gonna be over shortly But now I feel like I'm a winner cause of you When I think of me and you And feeling that our love's so true It takes me out of the blue You say it's gonna be alright And hold me in your arms so tight The future bursts into light I heard the ticking of the clock The fat lady was singing But I turned out a winner cause of you Now anytime I think I suck You put your arms around me And I'm wrapped in cotton candy cause of you All those times I felt so bad Everything looked dark and lonely But now everything looks brilliant 'cause of you And if I'm ever feeling sad I can hear you come a-running And I'll feel like I'm a winner cause of you You saw the saint beneath the sinner So now I know that I'm a winner cause of you

Go On 04:22
You said you wanted to spend some time with someone like me And whatever I wanted to do would make you happy But everything I do or say has got you running away is it only my mind or are you going insane? Did you mean it when you said we should live for today? So what's the look on your face when I go out to play But you know that my heart is true and I never wanna make you blue But I guess it's time to break the news, oh baby I don't wanna go on with you anymore So the guys and me played alright and you weren't there Every time I write you a song you don't even care so i guess I will turn this page cause you won't even act your age and you're feeling like half a man, I'm out of your cage, I gotta tell you I don't wanna go on with you anymore don't wanna go on, cause I know if I do everything will go wrong. So you said you could spend some time with someone like me But I guess I'm not the kind to make you happy This could be so much fun but it's easier said than done you will never be number one

(I'm just a) comeback superstar everybody's number 1 surfer for miles around Not so long ago, on the shores of Kokomo No one could nail me down On any sunny summer day I'd just drive down to the bay See my name on every wave Ready, Steady, Go! You won't see me anymore Beating the speed of sound Always out of reach, mega supersonic speed Famous all over town But one day the perfect wave Almost became my watery grave And then something in me changed I'm gonna wax my board today I'm gonna ride that wave away I'm gonna be their queen again Cuz I am here to stay Leave the fear behind, now that I've made up my mind Ready to have some fun Surfin' all alone, riding 'til the light is gone This is where I belong At the meet next Saturday I'm gonna drive down to the bay And I'll show them nothing's changed I'm gonna wax my board today I'm gonna ride until that memory fades I'm gonna be their queen again
9.
Too Late 04:58
Won't go to sleep tonight I can no longer wait To see the dreams in my head Slowly go outta date The more I go along With all the things they say The longer I'll remain unable To create my own way I won't let them get me down before I start to play I found the place where I belong, and here I'm gonna stay Before it is too late, too late. Nothing they say can hurt me Why should I even care? Deep inside I know I'm winning and they're not even aware I'll always have this song Remind me everyday that I'm walking on the right side even when they tell me "girl we're gonna come and clip your wings" I can beat their mean machine gonna smash it down to bits and let the good times in Before it is too late, It’s gonna be too late

Henry, Henry Rollins I know you like it on your own I know you're better left alone but hey Henry, this is just a stupid song. So I'll tell it like it is Wish I could hear you say that you want me for your girlfriend Catch a plane to L.A. be the one you can't replace Wipe the sweat off your face while you work out on your weights I'll take you to ecstasy you'll feel like you moved to Washington DC Henry, Henry Rollins I know you don't need anyone But I am not doing nothing wrong cause hey Henry, this is just a stupid song! I'd melt away if one of these days you'd tell me that I'm one of your friends. And anytime you feel I'm not tight you can kick me out of your house and kiss me goodbye. Wanna be by your side, just like Ian and Heidi are cause now you know Henry Rollins now you know Henry Rollins, I love you.

about

SUZY & LOS QUATTRO… STICK WITH IT!


Started its journey during early 2007, with B.B. Quattro in Barcelona and Robbie Rist in Los Angeles working on pre-production bouncing demos on mp3 back and forth.

On October 10th 2007 Robbie Rist flew from L.A. to Barcelona and locked himself up in the rehearsal room with the band for three days, pushing them beyond reason (politely though!) to get their best performances.

On October 14th the band entered RecLab Studios in Barcelona to start the recordings. On October 23rd Robbie flew back to L.A. and until mid-March 2008 recorded plenty of guitars and backing vocals at Crab Apple West Studios in Fullerton and Valeyholla Studio "C" in Woodland Hills, California, while Suzy Chain and B.B Quattro recorded their vocals at RecLab in Barcelona.

On January 8th 2008 Tim Cross flew from the UK to Barcelona and recorded keyboards and synths at RecLab, flying back on January 10th. He couldn't help adding more input from his Smythotts studios in Robertsbridge (UK) and sent more keys in the last minute before the final mix.

Connecting Barcelona and Los Angeles, all files were shared to be listened, edited and put back together in the studio using The Mockers' ftp site.

Between February and March 2008 the whole thing was edited at Reclab Studios.
From April 7th until the 14th the album was mixed by Blind Joes at Blind Records in Barcelona.
"Henry Rollins" was a last minute recording at Blind Studios.
Finally, it was mastered at Impact Mastering by Alvaro Balañá

Recording engineers
Francesc Gonsalves at RecLab Studios

The photo session took place at Hangar in Barcelona, with photographer/designer Sylvia Sans who did all the artwork for this album. Band logo by Stine Bendiksen.
