Strugglers, the band's fourth album, kicks off with Looney Tunes inspired horns on "Any Moment Now"- the first single to be released digitally August 5th. The infectious track is what Suchan refers to as "an attempt at an updated 'I'm Waiting for the Man.'" Another highlight is "Roll the Dice," with its sincere political musings in the guise of an indie-pop song. A pop song with mandolin that mentions Jean-Paul Sartre and George Orwell, that's Koufax.

Written by Suchan in the fall of 2007 while living in Prague, Strugglers delves into political and social commentary through narratives tackling the party hopping drunk ("Drivers"), deluded Hollywood-types' reign over pop culture ("California Taught Us Well") and the condescension that is found in so many of the "truth movements" ("Strugglers"). With lyrical strength and a delivery that Rolling Stone calls "dramatic, Morissey-like crooning," Suchan ranks as one of the most talented frontmen in the game.

Koufax has been performing internationally for the last 8 years playing 14 countries, numerous festivals, and tours with bands such as Wilco, Bright Eyes, Nada Surf and The Get Up Kids.
