Biography
EditSuicidal Tendencies are the fathers of skate punk and one of the seminal bands to mix punk and heavy and thrash in the early 80s (along with other bands like: Anthrax, Beowülf, Corrosion of Conformity). Originally made up of Mike Muir on vocals, Mike Dunnigan on bass, Mike Ball on guitar and Carlos Egert on drums, they had changed line-ups at least four times before their first release in 1983 Suicidal Tendencies. The video for their single "Institutionalised" was the first hardcore punk video to get heavy rotation play from MTV and featured those now immortal lyrics; "All I wanted was a Pepsi".
Suicidal Tendencies rocky beginning would continue throughout its more than 30 year career with almost as many line-up changes, several hiatuses and three comebacks. Through it all founder, songwriter and driving force Mike Muir would remain the only constant. Recently the band - current line-up in addition to Mike Muir is Mike Clark, Dean Pleasants, Ron Brunner and Steve Brunner - have toured the world playing at many festivals including the Soundwave Festival, Australia and the Download Festival in the UK.
