Suicide

Suicide was an American electronic duo formed in the mid 1970s, fronted by vocalist Alan Vega with Martin Rev on keyboards and synthesis. They combined minimalist electronic instrumentation, repetitive synth patterns, drum machines, and a confrontational vocal style to create a stark, abrasive sound that blurred the lines between punk attitude and electronic experimentation. Their live shows were notable for their intensity and provocative presentation, and the band is frequently mentioned as an early influence on post-punk, industrial, and various strands of electronic music.
