"I heard about this band when they toured with msi which is how most of the people found out about them and after listening to there myspace i bought the cd that day. Its awesome. Its five tracks, 4 of which are amazing and one is like wtf happened but thats just my opinion. The cd still kicks a**. here are the tracks:



1. F*ck Your Dreams: 5/5 Excellent way to begin it. Very fast a lot of screaming. I love how it ends with karl screaming the title of song.



2. Give Me Your Pity: 5/5 omg awesome song. Makes me want to beat the sh*t out of someone. The chorus is awesome and really catchy.



3. Undone: 5/5 I think this is kinda the fan favorite. I love this song. Begins with a violin or something kind of eerie and dark. a lot of emotion i guess i dunno but its a really good song.



4. Marching Backwards: 2/5 Whoa. This is the downfall of the album. Its a slow start and then they start screaming. I dunno its just doesnt sound that good. I usual press skip on this one. But hey it could your favorite song.



5. Diemonds: 5/5 Awesome. Picks up right after marching backwards and makes me forget all about it. Awesome chorus. I WILL NOT SERVE/SUE YOU! i hope thats thats how it goes lol but its awesome.



Well thats the cd. You have to get it if ur a hardcore/screaming/punk/metal fan. i mean i really love this cd. like on itunes ive listen to f*ck your dreams 91 times. its amazing. i suggest u check out there myspace. i think they have the beginning of give me your pity, the full song of undone and f*ck your dreams and a part of there new demo "cutter" it sounds different but i have to hear the whole song. well i cant wait for there next cd and for them to come back to Atlanta. Not My Year=Amazing Album"

Only Suicide City Can Rock You This Hard!!!

"Dark. Fierce. Melodic. Rivoting. Powerfully intense. Energetic. Psychotic. Sexy. Unique. Euphoric. Exhilerating. These are just a few of the words that come to mind when I think of Suicide City. But words alone cannot describe how phenomenal they are!!! And you will know that from the second you listen to this CD. This is not just your average punk rock CD...it is music that knows no boundaries. These are 5 songs, written and played with heartfelt emotion, that will grab you by the soul and never let it go.



1 - It opens with F*ck Your Dreams, a powerful punk anthem that really makes you go bollistic! If you can listen to this song without jumping around, then I'm going to assume you have no legs! Rating - 5/5



2 - Give Me Your Pity, another pumped up energetic song that manages to mix hardcore with catchy...especially with the chorus chanting "Give me your pity suicide city!" Rating - 4/5



3 - Undone, easily the most euphoric song on the album. The rest of the world goes away when you listen to it...its just amazingly powerful. This song also really highlights how good Karl's vocals are. Its more melodic instead of psychotic but it still packs a punch! I highly recommend this be your first taste of them. Rating - 5/5



4 - Marching Backwords, and yes, it is intentionally mispelled! I would have to say this is the weakest track of the 5 but its not at all a bad song. It just doesn't have the intensity the other 5 have. This ones a lot slower with not as much excitement but the lyrics remain powerful. Rating - 3/5



5 - Diemonds, and yes, that is also intentionally mispelled! I never thought I would like a song more than Undone but damn, this one is amazing! This song is as intense as it gets! If you watched Viva La Bam's Spring Break Special, you may have already heard the opening riffs. But the rivoting intensity of those few notes are nothing compared to the rest of the song! So yes, let this also be part of your first taste of them!! Rating - 5/5



So yes, you should buy this CD right now! If you don't want to take my word for it, then check out their web site or their myspace profile for a taste of these tracks as well as a few new ones. You will see that Karl's flawless vocals are so packed with emotion, its bone chilling. Billy (formerly of Biohazard) and AJ can shred their guitars like you wouldn't believe. Their notes are layered perfectly for some unforgettable riffs. And Billy's backup vocals/screams/growls really bring it all together. Jennifer (formerly of Kittie) is a smoking bass player. She plays with this sensual intensity that only a woman as harcore as her can do! And there's no missing Danny's extreme talent in those flaring drum beats. This band has unbelievable chemistry....so go check them out...if you think you can handle it!!"

Not My Year MADE my year!

"First of all you have to know that 'Suicide City' consists of 5 amazing & talented people who love what they do. What they do is make great music and put on one of the most energetic shows I have ever seen. This CD is only the beginning. If you are looking for Biohazard, then go buy a Biohazard CD. If you want something fresh & entertaining that has an aggressive sound, and is infused with real passion, then 'Not My Year' is most definately the CD to own. It's a seriously good time."
