Socially Suspect

With influences spanning genres including pop punk, grunge, jazz fusion, and progressive rock, Socially Suspect brings a unique brand of alt-rock to the Milwaukee music scene.

Socially Suspect’s songs are as diverse as they are catchy. The band’s groovy basslines, grungy vocals, jazz fusion-tinged lead guitars, energetic drums, and anything-goes attitude take listeners on a unique genre-bending journey.

The band first formed in March 2022 with Don Richter (vocals, rhythm guitar), Tyler Potter (bass, backing vocals), and Jonathon Sadowski (drums, backing vocals) serving as the initial lineup until the arrival of Tera Willis (lead guitar) in the summer. The four-piece broke into the live music scene in November 2022 and has since been garnering attention for their unpredictable sound and lively performances.
