A song about economic decay that is leaving us with an Empire of Rust.

Ghost Stories

Empire of Rust

Formed in March 2022, Socially Suspect has garnered attention around Milwaukee for their unpredictable sound and lively performances.

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

Socially Suspect’s own members can't quite put a finger on their genre, but that doesn't matter. The band's songs are as diverse as they are catchy—a medley of groovy basslines, intricate lead guitars, energetic drums, and anything-goes attitude.

The band's lineup includes Steven Baird (vocals, guitar), Tyler Potter (bass, vocals), Jonathon Sadowski (drums, vocals), and Tera Willis (lead guitar).
