Susto (band)

Susto (which the band usually capitalizes as SUSTO) is an American indie rock band from Charleston, South Carolina.

The name of the band is from the Spanish word "susto", meaning "an intense fear understood as a condition of the soul", reflecting the Cuban roots of some of the band, as well as being drawn from letters in the band leader's name.
