Description
New York City in the 1970s was an urban nightmare. Two musical vigilantes, Alan Vega and Marty Rev, rose out of the miasma to save America's soul with their weaponized noise. Their live shows often left audiences fleeing in fear or forming bands. This book gives a front-row seat to a Suicide show, exploring the parallels between the band's groundbreaking first album and Marvel Comics' antiheroes of the 1970s. Andi Coulter tells the origin story of two musical Ghost Riders learning to harness their sonic superpower, using noise as a clarion call for a better future. Suicide is one of the most original and influential bands of the last century, yet relatively unknown outside their musical coterie. This book sheds new light on the band's history and significance, making it an essential read for music fans and those interested in the intersection of art and culture.
