Suck were a part of the South African hard rock wave of the early ‘70s - in fact, they were the heaviest of the "Big Heavies" (the term was coined for a 1972 compilation LP). Time to Suck was the sole LP the group recorded in its short eight-month run (1970-1971), a time during which the band, unlike fellow Big Heavies like Freedom's Children and Otis Waygood, didn't manage to rise from their cover band status. However, what they lacked in artistic development, they made up for in sheer power. Singer Andrew Ionnides was gifted with the perfect hard rock voice, pairing the screaming overtones of Robert Plant with the earthy, bluesy tone of a Paul Rodgers. Guitarist Steve Gilroy (a British citizen) had chops, and the rhythm section formed by Louis Forer and Saverio Grandi (an Italian) had a lot of muscle.
