Every Album Ever | Episode 51: Suicide

- This week we talk about the immensely influential electronic duo, Suicide. Comprised of Martin Rev and Alan Vega, Suicide helped pioneer electronic, industrial, noise, and experimental music, as well as helping to coin the term “punk” in music. These guys influenced pretty much every band ever since the early 80s. Musically, they are absolutely not for everyone (especially considering crowds responded with violence at many of their early shows). However, their importance is as relevant as ever. Crazy band with a rich and inspiring history.

Suicide and Alan made my three years in Manhattan 1976-79 all the richer...When I met Alan again in Paris he was still the same warm, lovable and wonderful person utterly unlike his stage persona.
Great video, one of the most interesting “bands” out there
Quality episode. Alan Vega actually has a " lost album " out on Friday. Surprisingly, a fair bit of his solo stuff is really good. In the unlikely event you get an urge to listen to some of his stuff, I recommend the following:
Power on to zero hour
Cubist Blues ( with Alex Chilton )
It
Cheers
A wondrous, righteous and hilarious duo! (the band, not you two, ha ha!) We love them! 🙂
Rick Ocasek of The Cars was a fan, too; produced one of their albums I think
Suicide was a terrifying band; at heart they were a doo-wop, R & B, and rock 'n roll band
