Suicide
John Tobler, ZigZag, August 1978
It is to be hoped that some of you lemmings may have taken a little time out from adoration of the Clash on their current tour to check out the support act, Suicide. Whether or not they are likely to achieve the ten minutes of fame allotted to everyone seems to me doubtful, as so far none of our legendary tastemakers have said they're important.
