Is American Supreme -- the first Suicide album in a decade -- an update, a return to form? Yes and no. Those who hang on Alan Vega's every streetwise grunt and growl will doubtlessly be pleased as punch with the results, as will anyone who hasn't heard any music that has been recorded since 1990. Perhaps the strangest twist about this record is how much of it sounds more crude and antiquated than the duo's first two albums, which were released over 20 years prior to this one. Those two albums did what few groups had done prior, and this one recycles hip-hop and dance beats that were recycled many times over by the mid-'90s. The opening "Television Executions" is the worst culprit, using turntable scratches and a bounding late-'80s funk groove that the Red Hot Chili Peppers would scoff at. It would be expecting far too much for Vega and Martin Rev to deliver something as revolutionary as those first two albums. A more realistic hope would be for this album to not be an embarrassment. Thankfully, due to Vega's sharp-as-ever observations (he still sounds ornery and underfed), they narrowly escape that pitfall. ~ Andy Kellman

PERSONAL HISTORY SUMMARYEdward “Lamont” HadleySinger Lamont Hadley is a native of St. Louis, Missouri. He is the son of Maple Davis and the late Curtis Brooks. As a child, Lamont would step around the house using a belt buckle as a microphone while singing the songs of the O’Jays, Temptations, Four Tops, and the Whispers. In 1978 he started his singing career as a member of a group called the “Fire 5”. His first public performance was at Dunbar Elementary School in St. Louis, MO in which the “Fire 5” won 1st Place singing, The Second Time Around, by Shalamar. From 1980 – 1985 Lamont performed with this same group at Vashon High School in the Request of Pleasure, a Talent Show for local entertainers. In 1986 Lamont was appointed to represent Vashon High School in the Southwestern Bell Teen Talent Show Extravaganza held at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis, MO. There were 150 schools represented in this Extravaganza.Lamont then became a singer of a local group called, “Rare Form” in 1988. “Rare Form” became an entity of the “Galaxy Band”, an agency that secured contracts and book shows for “Rare Form”. This gave Lamont an opportunity to share the stage with professional singers such as Barbara Mandrell, Kenny Rogers and Sherl Crow at the Grand Old Opera Land in Nashville, TN. In 1989 Lamont became a member of a local singing group called “The Master’s Touch”. This was the beginning of his childhood dream, an all male singing group in which he imitated as a kid. Over the years, this singing group also shared the stage with many professional singers such as the O’Jays, Temptations, The Dells, Gerald Levert, The Dramatics, Peabo Bryson, Tony Terry, Boyz II Men, The Rude Boys, The Delfonics, T.L.C. and others. In 1995 the Master’s Touch was invited to Las Vegas, NV to work with Shermen Hemsley (a.k.a. George Jefferson) and Smoken Joe Frazier at the Casino Flamingo Hilton. The “Master’s Touch” also performed in Rino and Mesquite, NV at the Casino Peppermill. Shortly afterwards ...
