Vocal Suspects Get High On the Radio

Stopping by to open our 4/20 dedication show, “Sweet Baby Lou Gets High” were local Amherst acapella-ers The Vocal Suspects. Made up of 17 UMass students (for full list see their website link below), The Vocal Suspects are UMass’ oldest co-ed acapella group (in years, not in age) and their interests include “charity work, recording, singing, and acting ridiculous” some of which they decided to showcase in the WMUA studio.

Armed with their arsenal of pitch perfect voices, The Suspects dropped a four song set complete with vocal stylings (both high and low) on acapella renditions of songs like 30 Seconds to Mars’ “Kings and Queens,” Billy Joel’s “And So it Goes…” and a triumphant finale rendition of the perennial stoner favorite “The Circle of Life.”
