SUICIDAL TENDENCIES (1983) Debut LP - Virgin (V2495) UK Issue - 1st Pressing.


Product Description

Suicidal Tendencies: Mike Muir (vocals); Grant Estes (guitar); Louiche Mayorga (bass); Amery Smith (drums).

On its 1983 self-titled debut, Suicidal Tendencies unleashed an angry, brooding set of hardcore/punk tunes that stood in sharp contrast to the group's sunny Southern California surroundings. Often credited with inventing the skate-punk style, the band lays down hard-charging riffs and rhythms that create the perfect platform for frontman Mike Muir's pointed rants. As any ST fan (or punk fan for that matter) will attest, the album's crowning moment is "Institutionalized," which mixes Muir's witty, disenchanted half-spoken/half-shouted musings with locomotive ferocity, and became an unlikely semi-hit on MTV. Other highlights of the record include the frenetic "Suicide's an Alternative/You'll Be Sorry" and "I Shot the Devil," which sports a blistering guitar solo that hints at the metal influence that would later come to define the band's sound. Although SUICIDAL TENDENCIES isn't as adventurous as the act's later recordings, it effectively establishes its rough-and-tumble aesthetic, and is regarded as a West Coast hardcore classic.


I am devastated that after 44 years I'm in the financial crisis where I have to sell my prized collection of ~mostly~ Punk singles and LP'S.

It's ♥ breaking but also a happy situation as I'm finding that there are still a lot of old-school Punk rockers that are going to appreciate my collection of vinyl which makes it a whole lot easier and I'm made up that my collection will live on and be appreciated by someone else who is like minded and a fellow punk.
