Suspicious Minds

A band apart... What makes Suspicious Minds interesting is not only their audacity to claim a new Rock & Roll genre (Heavy Swing) but also the fact that none of them live in the same state. Suspicious Minds is made up of frontman Francis James from Central New Jersey; lead ax-man Jordan Taylor Moed, currently residing in Nashville, TN; bassist/mixer/masterer Dan “The Dude” Morin, located outside of Orlando, FL; and guitarist Pete Baker of New York, state not city. In 2018 Suspicious Minds was formed by Francis James and Jordan Taylor Moed, after the breakup of their prior outfit, LEGACY. A friend of theirs from New Jersey liked their sound and decided Hardcore Swing was what he heard. Hardcore being a term too loosely thrown around, Jordan decided to change that to Heavy Swing - take a listen and you’ll understand why. While the band was in the proverbial womb Jordan left New Jersey to attend Full Sail University in Florida, where he met Dan. Asking Dan to assist on the mixing and mastering of their debut single “You Never Knew”, Dan quickly grew to like the music and was then asked if he’d like to join as the full time bassist of Suspicious Minds. Later this same year, Jordan played a show in New York where he met Pete and you know the saying, “The right place, the right time”. Pete joined the band shortly after and the band went to work on what their hopes was to be their biggest project to date.... Stay Tuned.
