Formed in the cold winter of 2005 by members Billy Graziadei (known for his years with metal/hardcore band Biohazard) and Karl Bernholtz (singer of the south Florida band The Groovenicks), Suicide City has been taking the music NYC music scene by storm.
With only being together for a year and a half, Suicide City has toured with MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE, OTEP and most recently, TAKING BACK SUNDAY. The band has been voted best new band in numerous magazines and has garnered incredible reviews from KERRANG! (UK), METAL EDGE (USA), not to mention 2 cover features in The EAST COAST ROCKER and PULSE WEEKLY!
Suicide City began when the passionately focused Billy Graziadei met the kinetically energetic singer Karl Bernholtz while producing his band, the Groovnics from south Florida. Graziadei then brought in session drummer Danny Lamagna, who was soon joined by fellow Groovnics guitarist AJ Marchetta. After meeting female powerhouse bassist Jennifer Arroyo while on the road with Kittie, Graziadei pledged to one day join forces with this beautifully intense woman! The dream team was complete. With mounting obligations and impractical geography between them, Suicide City's seedling stage might have been a logistical nightmare, but as Marchetta says, "nothing good comes easy."
