SUICIDAL TENDENCIES ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM
Written by Malcolm Dome on August 3, 2018
Suicidal Tendencies are to release a new album on September 7.
It’s called ‘Still Cyco Punk After All These Years’. Commenting on the album’s philosophy, the band have said:
“In the early ’80s when Suicidal Tendencies started, punk rock was not very welcoming to ‘new ideas’, especially from a new crew that were obviously not worried about fitting in.
“But SxTx wasn’t there to be ‘accepted’ and not only played their own style of Cyco Punk, but reinvented the DYI attitude to a level never seen before with their distinctive look and sound.
“For 35 years ST hasn’t worried about what other bands or people were or weren’t doing – about what was cool or trendy at the time. They didn’t ask for permission, nor did they care who it offended. They did what they wanted, but most importantly for the right reason, because it’s what they felt, not cause they wanted to be liked.
“That didn’t make things easy. They were banned in Los Angeles, police riots and harassed by various ‘authorities’ and even the Secret Service got into the act, ‘dropping in’ and paying singer Mike Muir a visit.”
