Suicidal Tendencies is an
American hardcore punk band.
It was formed by singer Mike
Muir (leader and only
permanent member) in Venice,
Los Angeles, California, in
1981. The band was given
credit as one of "the fathers
of "crossover thrash". In the
present, Suicidal Tendencies
have released eleven studio
albums (one of which is a
"double-EP", and two of which
mainly contain re-recordings
of their own songs), one EP,
four split albums, three
compilation albums, and two
long-form videos.
In 1983, Suicidal Tendencies
become popular with their
self-titled debut album, which
produce the single
"Institutionalized". This
single was one of the first
hardcore punk videos to
receive significant airplay on
MTV. Suicidal Tendencies
release a follow-up record in
1987, "Join the Army". The
album caught the attention of
Epic Records, who signed the
band in 1988 and issued their
third album, "How Will I Laugh
Tomorrow When I Can't Even
Smile Today", in that year.
This was followed by the
band's next two albums,
Controlled by Hatred/Feel Like
Shit...Déjà Vu and
Lights...Camera...Revolution!,
which both certified Gold by
the RIAA and become
successful. After releasing
their two studio albums (The
Art of Rebellion and Suicidal
for Life), Suicidal Tendencies
disbanded in 1995. In 1997,
they regroup and have continue
to perform and record since
then.
