Love their second album, jam packed with dark little pop classics, quite a lot more accessible than their debut, love that too though.

Thanks for posting this! A band I'm not very familiar with but I'll be checking out more of their music. wink

Be careful. The songs I have posted here are quite poppy compared to a lot of their early material, it's very dark, stark and can be quite difficult to listen to.

2nd album is a winner though, titled "The Second Album." Hehe.

I do love the darker tone of their debut. Odd thing that made them stand out in the punk crowd is how outsider-ish they were with the punk groups, not to mention they were WAY older than most of the first wave punk acts, most of whom were barely in their late teens (17, 18, 19-ish) and very early 20s.

I think that they stood out because of the fact that they came on stage with just 1 synth, the punks were like "WTF is this shit?" Also, listening to those early shows in NYC and reading about them, Alan Vega was a very confrontational artist even by 1970's punk standards.

I went to a small exhibition of Alan Vega's visual art in London a few years back, crazy stuff made with colour light bulbs and black everywhere.

True I did read about that. They were truly rebels.

And "Frankie Teardrop" is one of a few songs to have actually scared me.

^^ Frankie Teardrop is a Suicide classic, it could only have ever been created by them.

I remember when they opened for Siouxsie And The Banshees during their reunion tour here in NY. It was such an odd thing to see. I didn't appreciate them at the time.
