2013 Chevrolet Trax Video Transcript

One of the most interesting parts of international auto shows is seeing what they're not sending to the US. Built up from the guts of a Chevy Sonic, this Chevy Trax will offer 3 engines, none of them over 1.7 liters. So you know it's not coming stateside. Inside, we'd recognized Chevy, my link there, new smart interface. Outside the Trax is a sharp-looking little thing that appears ready to do battle with the likes of Kia Soul. We're a little puzzled but that battle won't happen here since chevy already does offer the tiny spark and the little Sonic upon which this guy is based.

Suicide City: "Give Me Your Pity"

Suicide City began when the passionately focused Billy Graziadei met the kinetically energetic singer Karl Bernholtz while producing his band, the Groovenicks from south Florida. Graziadei then brought in session drummer Danny Lamagna, who was soon joined by fellow Groovenicks 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." Suicide City's first disc, Not My Year, utterly masters hydrologic speed, sleek melodies and bewildering aggression all encompassed in several hues of tragic beauty. Perhaps when Jennifer described what being in SUICIDE CITY meant to her, she also tapped into what people can expect to experience in this murderous metropolis."Being able to have no limitations and no boundaries," declares Jennifer. Graziadei further explains the five-piece's integrity-filled maxim, "Suicide City is not influenced by what is the trend of the day! My influences effected me at an early age, growing up with the Misfits, the Cure, Minor Threat, the Beatles, Joy Division, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin." Indeed, Suicide City houses the poisonous poetry of the Cure, the stabbing rhythm section of the Misfits and a smoldering addictive quality that made the Beatles the legends that they are. Add in the fact that Jennifer grew up listening to metal and hardcore, you get some insight as to what this riveting and magnetic outfit delivers, but it also begs the question: what's in a name? Graziadei points to our society's destructive pathology. "People put themselves through so much abuse; physically, mentally, emotionally, economically, it's all suicide! We live in a world where people continually destroy their souls in the name of vanity, is this sane? When you remove 'want' out of your vocabulary and concentrate on 'need,' life becomes much easier to bare!" And speaking of destructive pathologies, singer Bernholtz defines Suicide City performances as, "a sweet ass train wreck.", while Jennifer draws parallels to their live show as being an orgasm!
