Making a Scene Presents an Interview with The Weekend Lovers

Good vibes, great friendships, and a love for all things funky — these are the ingredients that brought The Weekend Lovers together in the spring of 2022.Each of the group’s members — Noelle Vocelka (lead vocals), Zach Sutton (lead guitar, vocals) Brennan Fussman (keys, guitar, vocals) Kevin Sutton (drums, vocals), and Aaron “Real Soon” Roth (bass) — were lifelong musicians with decades of experience between them. But, after meeting through mutual friends in Atlanta, they knew they’d found something special.

The band instantly bonded over shared influences, matching energies, and a belief in the healing power of weekends. Soon, they were releasing singles — pulling on rock, psychedelia, and ‘70s soul to cultivate a part-modern-part-throwback sound that prioritizes joy and musicianship in equal parts.This undeniable chemistry is most palpable in the group’s live shows. Performing at venues and festivals throughout the Southeast — including their first-ever tour in the fall of 2023 — TWL brings a raucous stage presence, beautiful vocal harmonies, and a near-agnostic approach to who plays what instrument at a given time.Their recorded music is a distillation of those forces. Songs like “Stir Around” and “I Wanna Love You” — with their sultry vocals and searing guitar sounds — represent deeper dives into psych-rock. Meanwhile, “Force The Rush” — with its bright chords and epic dynamic swings — is a clear push toward newer, more alternative sounds.

The Meepy EP, the band’s debut EP, is a crossroads for all of those creative directions and more. It’s the sound of a new band becoming a seasoned one, with a wide array of ideas coming together under one cohesive umbrella.
