Great Two-Piece Rock Bands
Since last few years, two-piece rock bands based on a guitarist and a drummer are gaining popularity. The involvement of the creative approach of two like-minded people to really attract the music composers and performing artists who are really talented can be considered as the main cause of the increasing popularity of two-piece rock bands. Brief information about some of the great two-piece rock bands is provided here under for your consideration.

Some of the bands which were influenced by Suicide include Nine Inch Nails, Nick Cave, She Wants Revenge, Radiohead and Joy Division/New Order etc. Moreover the term Punk music’ was used on promo flyers for the first time in 1970 by Suicide to advertise a concert.

They later on retired as an undoubted team of rock and roll champions. In 2002 they started their career as the part of the revival of garage rock and mainstream music artists.

Both of them remain duo most of the time but during 1988-1990 Griz "Tone" Mayer joined them on bass. They were highly influential as their influence was seen on Jack White who reissued Go Go Harlem, their1991 album, for his Third Man Records on vinyl.
