Every Album Ever w/ Mike Mansour & Alex Volz
Music:Music Commentary
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.
Closing track: “Mr. Ray” from Suicide: Alan Vega and Martin Rev (1980)
