Supposedly the first band to describe itself as "punk", suicide was influential to punk, electronic, and pop music. Bruce Springsteen said that Suicide was one of the biggest influences on his critically acclaimed "Nebraska" album. They were never very popular, but got a bit of press last year when they headlined ATP.
Thanks. I wasn't even aware of them. Seems like everyone took a bit from these guys.
