about
In the late 90's Charm City Suicides emerged as one of the most celebrated and hardest working combos to come from Baltimore, Md.'s underground scene. While it would not be wholly innaccurate to describe their sound as hardcore, garage, or punk, their effort came together not in reverence for any specific tradition, but rather from a dedication to minimalism and an urgent need to express their most honest feelings about romance, food, nature, and physical fitness. The music of Charm City Suicides defies placement in time, sounding neither retro nor modern, yet flirting with both. If comparisons are neccesary their music certainly has something to do with The Locust and Arab On Radar, The Shaggs and The Seeds, The Stooges and Black Flag. It also has alot to do with Baltimore, the politics of lust, and the changing of the seasons. Charm City Suicides, above all, loved to bring their explosive and unpredictable live show to as many people as possible with an emphasis on all-ages and benefit shows. CCS shared the stage with bands ranging from Mastodon to The Convocation Of..., from Superchunk to Love Life, from Page 99 to Arab On Radar. The Suicides had all known each other for about eight years and had all been playing in bands in the Baltimore, Md. area for about the same amount of time prior to forming CCS. In the 5+ years of their existence the group played an incalculable number of shows within the mid-east coast area of the U.S.(Maryland, Pennsylvania, D.C., Virginia
