Davey Suicide is an American rock singer and eponymous band. They are based in Hollywood, California, which Davey refers to as "Unholy-wood Kill-afornia". The group, formed in 2010, is known for their personas, avant-garde lyrics, stage antics, and big rock anthems. Davey Suicide's first recordings gained attention from Century Media, Standby Records, and Rob McDermott (former Linkin Park manager) after playing Chain Reaction in October 2011. Davey Suicide signed a recording contract with Standby Records in 2012 and was recognized on Alternative Press's list of “100 Bands You Need to know,[1]” Kerrang Magazine’s “50 Greatest Rockstars in the World[2]”, Big Cheese “Introducing” and Revolver Magazine’s “Ones to Watch.” Davey Suicide is currently signed to Out of Line Music.
Musical style
Davey Suicide has been classified as a rock band with industrial and goth elements. Early band influences range from Guns N' Roses, Pantera, Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails and Eminem. Davey's favorite frontmen and lyricists are Axl Rose, Eminem and Marilyn Manson, whom he has tattooed on his forearm.[3]
Legal issues
In 2016, Standby Records and Davey Suicide had a public and legal dispute.[4] Suicide released an 11-minute video on Facebook, detailing his experience with Standby Records and alleging that they sabotaged the band's career.[5] The music community rallied behind Suicide, which forced the case into a settlement within the same week of the video's release.[citation needed] Suicide regained his master recordings for Put Our Trust in Suicide EP, Davey Suicide LP, and “World Wide Suicide LP” as well as freedom from the label in exchange for the removal of the viral post.[6]
Made From Fire
In March 2017, Davey Suicide released Made From Fire[7] (produced by Charles Kallaghan Massabo), the first album since the settlement. The album peaked at #24 on the Billboard charts and outsold all of their previous releases on Standby Records.[8]
