SUICIDAL TENDENCIES Frontman Interviewed By ROCK MY MONKEY

February 10, 2010

Rock My Monkey recently conducted an interview with frontman Mike Muir of the long-running Venice Beach, California thrash/punk band SUICIDAL TENDENCIES. The chat is now available for streaming using the audio player below.

In a recent interview with FrantikMag.com, Muir stated about SUICIDAL TENDENCIES' upcoming studio album, which is tentatively due in the fall, "Every record we do people always ask us what it's going to be and I think that the important thing is that it's different stuff. Years later when you play a live show, it all fits in. When we did our first record we had big problems. When we did our second record, we had big problems. And then we did our third and that's life. Some people are just used to everybody regurgitating the same thing, doing what's popular at the time. I think that's something that's definitely not needed. There's a lot of people doing the exact same thing. I think that whatever we do, we put the SUICIDAL signature on it. For us, the parameter of what a great record is not how it fits in at the time to what music's around at the time, it's how many people are still listening 20 years later and how it fits into music then."

Fontana Distribution has just released "Live At The Olympic Auditorium", SUICIDAL TENDENCIES' first-ever DVD release. The DVD came out January 26, 2010 via the band's own imprint, Suicidal Records. The approximately 80-minute DVD features 16 tracks, including ST classics "Institutionalized", "War Inside My Head" and "Possessed To Skate" and captures the band in their most natural environment: onstage, uncensored and ready to tear you to shreds.

Professionally filmed video footage of SUICIDAL TENDENCIES' December 19, 2009 performance at the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California as part of the Affliction $5.00 Christmas Concert can be viewed below.
