Susto (which the band usually capitalizes as SUSTO) is an American indie rock[1] band from Charleston, South Carolina.[2]

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.[3]
