About The Suicide Kings
Formed in 1984 out of the ashes of The Naughty Women, The Suicide Kings were Los Angels' answer to The Heartbreakers and The Ronnets during their run throughout the Mid-80's. Along their four year stint of playing up and down the West Coast, their seminal brand of gritty rock and roll achieved a local following without even releasing an album or having a steady line up. Eventually, some of the ex-Suicide Kings would form the legendary Humpers, while their scattered demo and live tracks would be re-released on "Teenage Disaster" courtesy of Sympathy for the Record Industry in early 1999. ~ Mike DaRonco
