Album Review

Former metalheads usually make for morose punk rockers, but despite possessing a name that suggests just that, along with some members whose prior experience includes bands like Biohazard and Kittie, Brooklyn, NY's Suicide City delivered a surprisingly upbeat, techno-laced commercial punk rock record in their 2009 debut, Frenzy. In fact, the bright melodies, infectious hooks, and energetic drive pervading the pogo-friendly singalongs dominating its first half may as well have been concocted by a gaggle of teenagers instead of grizzled stage veterans, and their notably "adult" lyrics (often rife with hard drugs and harder sex) don't necessarily give away the secret, either, given the frightening maturity of most kids of the 2000s. Were it not for other tracks like "Painted Horse," "Undone," and "She Waits," which reveal some of the musicians' darker songwriting undercurrents, along with electronics-infused second-half fare like "Spanish Fly," "Lost Years," and the very Incubus-like "Not My Year," there would be little evidence of the musicians' secret pedigree. Certainly not for young punk and modern rock fans oblivious to all of these historical footnotes, most of whom will likely find Frenzy to be right up their alley, and maybe even an ear-opening experience.

Customer Reviews

Simply amazing

First some side notes. I like the short tracks because they fit in well. They help transition the music. Another thing I like in the album is that you guys don't stick to just one style of music. You guys have taken from every single band mate's experience and clashed it all together in one record and made it sound amazing. Cutter (4-5) - I like the way this was redone. Its more upbeat and the effects used fit well with this song. It is much cleaner than the demo(obviously) and wash polished very well. (sounds like there was possibly a few riffs added????) Sex and Dying (4-5) - The second this song kicked in I got an old black and white horror movie feel in the beginning. I like how the song transitions back and forth from a slower darker pace to something upbeat and electric. I think the way the music is played in this song and how the vocals are sung does a really good job and getting both actions in the title across. The Best Way (3-5) - I got a pop like vibe from this song. The thing that I liked about it though is it was not a typical pop like song because of the in your face drums. I like the way this song was done vs. live shows and how it is played out. I felt like this was just an average song for you guys. Painted Horse (5-5) - This was greatly redone/polished. I love the effects on Karl's voice. The drums on this track are simply amazing. This song to me best shows how much Suicide City has grown as a band from the ep up to now. This was my favorite song before, but this just takes it over the top in sweetness!!!! Chemical Fight (4-5) - I love the MSI feel. I also thought of the song brainpower by freezepop. This track to me describes Suicide City. It has a serious tone when s**t needs to get done, but also does a huge 180 and blows you away with the amount of energy in it. Burn (5-5) - What must I say. It is a song that everyone loves to hear. I think that you guys made this song sound more like the cure's version, but you still have your own presence in the song. Guitars/bass and drums in this song are extremely well played in this song. I like the way the drums stand out in the verses and then everyone comes crashing in on the chorus. Undone (4-5) - One thing that struck me about this track is that it is a lot more clean compared to the ep. This was a good song on the ep, and you guys managed to change it up without taking away from it Spanish Fly (4.5-5) This song has a Linkin Park feel to it. One of the calmer songs. It sounds different than typical Suicide City, but in a good way. This song is well placed on the record as well because it gives you a chance to mellow out before the next song. Which this song does a good job transitioning into the next song. She Waits (4-5) - I like the mix between your softer and heavier parts. I like the guitars in this track because they seem to take a more simple approach when needed, and gets in your face when needed. Also it sounds like everyone turns into zombies between 2 minutes and 2.40. Wasn't expected but was super BADA$S!!!! Start the Show (4-5) - This song does what it is titled to do. It is very upbeat, and makes me want to run and jump around pumping my fist and screaming my head off. Great vibe to it. Not My Year (4-5) - This does a great job at describing what happened to the band the year before you signed the deal. I like the way this song has a roller coaster effect (up and down in emotion). This song finishes strong, which you could say that the end of this track represents what is going on today. You release a freaking kick a*s album. The best part is that this is just the first one! Lost Years (5-5) HOLY S*** BATMAN is all I can say. This song shows a totally different side of Karl's vocal skills. I like how it has the piano in the background kudos to who ever played them. This is something completely different. Has somewhat of an upbeat hidden track. It is a great way to end a Suicide City record because you guys always end with a bang.Overall (4.5-5) I like the way you guys did not just follow everyone. The cd is very original, even with the songs that are "old". You guys managed to redo them and make them sound even better than they already were. This cd show your progression as a band and is very well composed. The were no let downs at all. Congrats to all of you it sounds amazing

Great Album

I've been waiting quite a while for this album to come out, and it is even more than I expected. This album is produced very well, with amazing detail and sound quality. The song writing is very good, and each player is at their finest on this album.

Suicide City ROCKS!!!

This band is AWESOME!!!! The lead singer is the BEST!!!!

As N.Y.C. rap-metal institution Biohazard's career was winding down, guitarist/vocalist Billy Graziadei called up singer Karl Bernholtz (ex-Groovenics) in late 2004 to initiate what would develop into Suicide City. Another former Groovenic, guitarist AJ Marchetta, was soon brought on board along with ex-Kittie bassist Jennifer Arroyo, the latter of whom Graziadei had vowed to be in a band with after meeting her while touring with Biohazard. The final addition of drummer Danny Lamagna (on the recommendation...
