SUICIDE - A WAY OF LIFE

Although the band barely received any credit during their career, Suicide are cited as one of the most inspirational bands of the 1970s, influencing the likes Soft Cell, Depeche Mode and The Jesus And Mary Chain, whilst garnering fans in Nick Cave, Jim Thirlwell, M.I.A., Spiritualized, Lydia Lunch, Bobby Gillespie and Savages to name a few. Originally released in 1988, more than a decade after their iconic self-titled album, A Way of Life saw Alan Vega & Martin Rev once again team up with The Cars' frontman Ric Ocasek to produce.  This anniversary edition is available on Vinyl, and sees the album fully remastered by Denis Blackham. Featured on each format are bonus tracks Heat Beat and a newly unearthed live cover of Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA.
