Suicide

Musical Group

Suicide is an American electronic duo formed by Alan Vega and Martin Rev in New York in 1971, noted for a stark, minimalist and confrontational sound and a landmark 1977 debut album.

Members: Alan Vega (vocals) and Martin Rev (keyboards/electronics). Debut album 'Suicide' released in 1977. Alan Vega died in 2016. The duo is widely cited as an early and influential act bridging electronic music, no wave and proto-punk.

DeBaser's reviews treat Suicide as a seminal and abrasive electronic duo whose 1977 debut remains central. Critics highlight the brutal centerpiece "Frankie Teardrop" and the duo's minimalist, industrial sound. Later releases receive mixed responses, with some reviews praising and others dismissing 1980s/90s efforts. The site collects analysis, praise and a few strong rejections.
