Suicidal Tendencies is an American crossover thrash band formed in 1980 in Venice, California. The band is known for their aggressive musical style that blends elements of punk rock, hardcore punk, and heavy metal, along with their socially conscious and often confrontational lyrics.
The band was founded by vocalist Mike Muir, who has remained the only constant member throughout its various lineup changes. Suicidal Tendencies gained attention in the early 1980s Southern California punk scene with their self-titled debut album, released in 1983. The album featured iconic tracks such as “Institutionalized,” which became a staple of the band’s repertoire and a rallying cry for disaffected youth.

With their sophomore album, “Join the Army” (1987), Suicidal Tendencies began incorporating more thrash metal influences into their music, solidifying their reputation as pioneers of crossover thrash. This trend continued with subsequent albums like “How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can’t Even Smile Today” (1988) and “Lights… Camera… Revolution!” (1990), which further expanded the band’s sonic palette and cemented their status as one of the most influential bands in the genre.
Suicidal Tendencies has undergone numerous lineup changes, with Mike Muir being the sole constant member. Notable musicians who have been part of the band include guitarist Rocky George, bassist Robert Trujillo (who later joined Metallica), and drummer Dave Lombardo (formerly of Slayer), among others.
The success of the album, Lights…Camera…Revolution!, also led to the band’s first show in Los Angeles in years, in addition to headlining major U.S. tours (with a variety of acts such as Pantera, Exodus, Armored Saint, Jane’s Addiction, 24-7 Spyz, White Zombie and Leeway), their appearance on the European Clash of the Titans tour (with Megadeth, Slayer, and Testament) and supporting Queensrÿche on their Empire tour.
Despite their turbulent history and internal conflicts, Suicidal Tendencies has maintained a dedicated fan base and continued to release albums that resonate with both old and new audiences. Albums like “The Art of Rebellion” (1992), “Freedumb” (1999), and “13” (2013) have received critical acclaim for their musical innovation and uncompromising attitude.
In addition to their musical endeavors, Suicidal Tendencies has also been actively involved in various social and political causes, advocating for issues such as mental health awareness, social justice, and individual empowerment.
Suicidal Tendencies has toured extensively, both domestically and internationally, earning a reputation for their electrifying live performances and passionate fan base. Their influence can be heard in countless bands across multiple genres, making them true legends of the punk and metal scenes.
Despite the passage of time and the challenges they’ve faced, Suicidal Tendencies remains a vital force in the world of heavy music, inspiring generations of fans with their uncompromising attitude, fierce independence, and relentless pursuit of artistic expression.
Their discography includes thirteen studio albums, four compilation albums, two extended plays, twenty-one singles, and twenty-two music videos.
