446) Suicide : Rolling Stone

This New York synth-punk duo evokes everything from the Velvet Underground to rockabilly. Martin Rev's low-budget electronics are violent and hypnotic; Alan Vega uses screams as a rhythmic device. Warning: Late-night listening to "Frankie Teardrop," a ten-minute-plus tale of a multiple murder, is not recommended.
