Suicidal Tendencies - Demos 1982 / 86 (Digi CD)


Judging from their name, Suicidal Tendencies were never afraid of a little controversy. Formed in Venice, CA, during the early ’80s, the group’s leader from the beginning was outspoken vocalist Mike Muir. The outfit specialized in vicious hardcore early on — building a huge following among skateboarders, lending a major hand in the creation of skatepunk — before turning their focus eventually to thrash metal. Early on, the group (whose original line-up included Muir, guitarist Grant Estes, bassist Louiche Mayorga, and drummer Amery Smith) found it increasingly difficult to book shows, due to rumors of its members’ affiliation with local gangs and consistent violence at their performances. The band recorded a demo in 1982 but the demo didnt impress the labels but the underground buzz regarding Suicidal Tendencies grew too loud so in the end it was to hard for the labels to ignore them. When they finally signed a deal and released their classic self-titled debut in 1983 it didnt take long before the album became the best-selling hardcore album up to that point. But despite its early success, the quartet’s reputation preceded them, as no other record label was willing to take them on (in addition, Los Angeles banned the group from playing around this time, lasting until the early ’90s). Not much was heard from the group for several years afterward (leading many to believe that Suicidal had broken up), but Muir and company eventually recorded another demo in 1986 and by this time half of the original line-up had left; Muir and Mayorga were the only holdovers, while guitarist Rocky George and drummer R.J. Herrera rounded out the group. 1987 finally saw the release of Suicidal’s sophomore release, Join The Army, which spawned another popular skatepunk anthem, Possessed To Skate, as more and more metal heads began to be spotted in Suicidal’s audience. This album is an absolute mandatory hardcore release!. Its a classic on its own, contains the legendary 1982 demos and the studio 1986 demo in a killer trifolded digipak cover with a bandana skull cover.
