SUICIDE CITY ANNOUNCES NATIONAL TOUR
When SUICIDE CITY formed in NYC during the cold winter of 2005 by members of Kittie, Biohazard and Groovenics, a pretty big ripple hit the undergound punk and rock scene. Their debut EP Not My Year clocked in over 7,000 copies independently and made the media raise its collective eyebrow.
Four years later, that ripple has turned into a tsunami. Their debut album FRENZY (released earlier this month on The End Records) crashed on the media’s desks and splashed all over their editorial.
While initial wave of the album release may have leveled everything in its path, the band’s most powerful impact – their live show – is yet to come. A tour has just been announced and the waves should be crashing into cities nationwide any minute.
