So I wrote a long post which I've just had to delete, 'cos I found "contrabandwidth":http://mog.com/contrabandwidth posted "about them here":http://mog.com/contrabandwidth/blog_post/57819 in the meantime.Suicide's albums and performances in the late 1970s and early 1980s are regarded as some of the most influential post punk recordings, and helped shape the direction of indie rock, industrial music and dance music.Amongst others, The Sisters of Mercy, Henry Rollins, Soft Cell, The Fleshtones, Ric Ocasek of The Cars, and R.E.M. have listed Suicide as one of their influences.
