suicide

[sweboy]

"Suicide is an American rock music group intermittently active since 1971 and composed of Alan Vega (vocals) and Martin Rev (synthesizers and drum machines). Much like Silver Apples, they are an early synthesizer/vocal musical duo.

Never widely popular amongst the general public, Suicide are nonetheless hugely influential: critic Wilson Neate writes that Suicide "would prove as influential as The Clash. Listening to their self-titled 1977 debut from the vantage point of late 2002, it's all so obvious: the synth pop, techno, and industrial dance sounds of the '80s and '90s, and now the new New Wave of electroclash, all gesture back to that foundational album."

Their best albums are in my opinion Suicide, Half Alive and A Way Of Life.

[Figure8]

Cursive, The Good Life, The Elected, Desaparecidos, Azure Ray, The Postal Service, The Shins, Sufjan Stevens, M. Ward basically most of that overhyped saddle creek/sub pop stuff.

[Anxious]

[Liebensaft]

Hahahaha. Wow.

[Thanks]

Except that Suicide was terrible.

Suicide's first album ruled.

[Kyle]

Maybe listen to Okkervil River.

[Bukowski]

Suicide's first album ruled.

The second is supposed to be good as well. I've never heard it, but the first album is awesome.

Anyone see videos of Alan Vega solo on youtube?

Pretty funny.

[SugarCoatedSour]

Silver Apples owned, they sounded like a psychedelic new wave group. Especially the first 2 albums.

Thanks a lot helpful ones.
I like some of those bands and haven't really heard some other ones, I'll check them out. Thanks again :)

i can never find any motivation to voluntarily turn on a Suicide album. it's just so pointless, there are so many better things i could be spending my time listening to.

I've only listened to Suicide once. It wasn't that good.

[seamantis]
