SUICIDE Were Born In The USA – Hear A Previously Unreleased Track

Posted on by JL

New striking strokes

6 April 2023

Legendary eccentric noise duo SUICIDE (Martin Rev and Alan Vega)
released their 3th studio LP WAY OF LIFE 35 years ago.

For this anniversary occasion, the album will be re-released on 26 May including some previously unreleased tracks. One of them is a live cover version of Bruce Springsteen’s monster hit BORN IN THE USA (almost 400 million streams on Spotify)performed at a concert in Paris in 1988.

It’s a cheeky take with Suicide name-checking rock legends
like Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Johnny Cash and Little Richard.

Rather brilliant.

Henry Rollins who has written the sleeve notes for
this collection said: “This gathering of songs is not a ‘best of’
nor is it a ‘definitive’ all-you-need-to-know compilation. It is
an introduction that will hopefully compel you to explore
the albums.”

It’s Suicide‘s first-ever career-spanning collection featuring 16 remastered
tracks. The record also contains previously unreleased pieces. An unheard
version of Girl (from their 1977 debut LP) and the first version of Frankie
Teardrop (also from their debut).

MARTIN REV, keyboardist from experimental electro duo SUICIDE that made a significant impact, back in the seventies, on alternative music returns with DEMOLTION 9, his first new album in eight years and also the first since the death of his famous Suicide bandmate Alan Vega who passed away last July. It will be out on 26 May via Atlas Realisations and will feature 34 vignettes “yearning for joy and the unattainable perfection of the artistic ideal. The record spans a lifetime’s worth of moods and musings, encompassing fragments of Rev’s varied passions accrued across his nearly half-century long career.” The following two tracks NOW and IN OUR NAME give us an idea of what to expect: dark, electronic, ambient sound explorations.
