The Suspects (1978-80)

I am here for Networking

About Me

The Suspects were a late-70s Davis, California college band featuring: Steve Wynn, Kendra Smith, Russ Tolman, Gavin Blair & Steve Suchil. Talking Loud (1979) is their only single. After they broke up, Steve and Kendra formed The Dream Syndicate in LA; Russ and Gavin formed True West in Davis. This tribute page was created because The Suspects were an essential part of the Davis, California 80s music scene documented on www.davis80smusic.com.
