The Suicide Machines

[conniption]

The Suicide Machines, probably one of my favorite ska punk bands. I own Destruction By Definition and Battle Hymns, and both are great albums. The songs "New Girl" and "High Anxiety" were both on THPS sound tracks (THPS1 and THUG 2). The Suicide Machines have great ska parts and hardcore parts. By definition you could call them skacore. Haven't checked out the new cd yet. Discuss.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

Yeah they're sweet. I've got DBD, Battle Hymns, A Match and Some Gasoline, and War Profiteering is Killing us All. Basically all their good albums. I saw them on stage at Warped Tour last year.

Recently I've been listening to them more, and trying to convince my band to cover "Keep it A Crime"

[AIRIC]

Suicide Machiens are awesome. My favorite album is DBD.

[conniption]

My bands is going to cover "New Girl". It is going to be sweet.

[Rootsradical]

They are the best band ever to see live. They are definately in my top 3 of all time favorites.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

They are the best band ever to see live. They are definately in my top 3 of all time favorites.Yeah they are thrilling live. Mostly because I know all the words to 90% of their songs.

[RetiredAt21]

I used to be real big on the Suicide Machines, not so much anymore though.

[cbmartinez]

I only have A Match And Some Gasoline which I bought for "Your Silence," which to this day is one of my favorite songs. It's pretty good, some catch ska stuff (despite alot of it sounding the same) and the hardcore songs rule too. Never got around into looking into their old stuff. The acoustic hidden track ruled too.

[J_McMeaty]

DxD>Battle Hymns>War Profiteering>Green World>A Match and Some Gasoline
(based on the albums I have)

[fatwreckpunk]

they are one of my favourite bands too, I own all albums except battle hymns. They are just absolutely incredible live i agree, seen them twice now, just waiting for them to come back to UK

[Mannik]

I've heard DBD but never really gotten into them.

[Biscuit_box]

Very good band. DBD is one of those albums you could listen to alot. New Girl is a fu(king brilliant way to start an album

[RIP Ian Curtis]

New Girl is just a f'ucking brilliant song. Perfect tempo, lyrics, use of the horn section, and the little restrained use of the organ is much cooler than just having one good organ bit in a ska song and then the organist just f'ucking around the rest of the time.

[Billy]

Great band. Destruction by Definition is a really good album. I don't listen to it much anymore. I should start.

[RetiredAt21]

I only have A Match And Some Gasoline which I bought for "Your Silence," which to this day is one of my favorite songs.

The acoustic hidden track ruled too.

I didn't know they had hardcore stuff.

[Liebensaft]

Destruction by Definition is amazing. The rest of their stuff is just great too.

[skavid]

Awesome band. I'm seeing them the 24th with No Use For A Name.

[POINTLESS5448]

i want to go see them on the 22nd with no use for a name but i dont know because its on a wednesday and theyre the only band i want to see.
they are awesome though. itll be $15 well spent. itll be an investment.

[Ghostfire3]

Pretty good band. I have Battle Hymns.

[Mute Print]

I'm seeing them on March 5th with No Use For A Name. It should be a good time.

[Liebensaft]

They play here on a Tuesday :(

[Zesty Mordant]

They're not bad. I like how they can write really hardcor-ish material and then do a complete 180 and come up with the catchiest, poppiest, toe-tapping ska numbers out there.

[AIRIC]

Go Joe.

[Liebensaft]

Go Joe.
I'm going to try anyway.

[Drop The Baby]

Suicide Machines are a great band, very good live. DBD is brilliant. They're headlining this years City Invasion with the subhumans.

How good is battle Hymns?

[feldwebel]

good
but not as good as dbd or match and some gasoline

i must say that the new record isn't that great....don't flame me
good lyrics, right
but the music.......the kinda suck since they lost SkA

[RetiredAt21]

What album of theirs has hardcore stuff on it?

[username77]

Their last two mostly, A Match and some Gasoline and War Profiteering is killing us all. I have those two plus Destruction by Definition.

They're all really good. Saw them with Against All Authority, my first punk show. Amazing.

[cbmartinez]

What album of theirs has hardcore stuff on it?

I'll hook you up with some of their hardcore stuff from A Match And Some Gasoline.

[nitzguy]

probablythe best band to ever come out of michigan.. i love DBD, its just so good.

[xFEAR-AND-LOATHINGx]

saw em in august 05, tottaly killer.

[non sequitor]

me likes suicide machines. destruction by deffinition is clearly their best album. i like the new album too. it has alot more hardcore influence than their earlier stuff but still has some catchy punk and ska.

[_JR]

my band opens every show with the intro to "Hey" from dbd. its crazy sweet

[DaveToopes]

Do you guys have horns JR?

[_JR]

Do you guys have horns JR?
we dont really have horns in our lineup, but we have assorted friends and brothers who play with us on some songs. we pull them out when we play hey, superman by goldfinger, and the Decline. im trying to get my band to play Bad Town too because i play tenor sax

[nitzguy]

hey has a sweet bass line

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

I love Suicide Machines. Destruction By Definition is my favorite cd by them.

[Tjebby]

Red Flag is such a catchy song. I'm mad because i lost DBD.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

I don't like War Profiteering... very much. Its boring. If you lost DBD, I could send it to you.

[secholev2]

i own dbd, war profiteering, and the least worst of......suicide machines got me into punk n ska back when i was a kid..i love em!

[DaveToopes]

I don't like War Profiteering... very much. Its boring. If you lost DBD, I could send it to you.

I didn't like it at first, but I really like it now.

[comptonassrobert]

I love War Profiteering. I'd never heard of the band, but I was getting bored with my music so I just went to Boarders and bought the first thing that sounded like it could be cool, and War Profiteering proved to be badass.

"Capitalist Suicide" is probably my favourite song on that album.

[Buzzbomb]

I f'ucken love this band. I only own Battle Hymns and its awesome.

[Broken Angels]

The Suicide Machines are indeed awesome. I have everything 'cept for Steal this record and War Profiteering... though my favourite right now is probably Battle Hymns.
I still really wanna see them live.

[Fritz Plays Bass]

I saw them twice one and two years ago, both times with great opening acts, and must say they are one of the better live acts I've seen. But for some reason they never come to my state, or really even close. I'd even take the train to NYC to see them, but they don't go there. The closest they get is boston and that's a two hour drive, it's kind of annoying.

[Broken Angels]

I've heard they're great but they never play near me either. Besides which I never seem to find out that they've been over here until they've left :(

[Fritz Plays Bass]

They tour the US usually like... once a year, if you check their page, sometimes twice, but they always hit boston, buffalo, and New Jersey, and I live in CT (central during college, southwest at home) so I'm never near any of their shows.

[Broken Angels]

Shame I live in the Uk :p

[#1!]

I was just introduced to them earlier this year because my chem teacher had them playing before (and a little bit during) class one day. I haven't gotten enough money together to buy anything really since, but they're right at the top of my list.

[Drop The Baby]

Shame I live in the Uk :p

They played the UK a while ago. Come to think of it, it may have been two years ago now.

[POINTLESS5448]

I f'ucken love this band. I only own Battle Hymns and its awesome.
you'll love them even more once you get destruction by definition and a match and some gasoline.

[fatwreckpunk]

they are coming back in july to headline the city invasion tour. Will be the nuts

[IamtheTarMonster!]

What album of theirs has hardcore stuff on it?
war profitering is killing us all has some hardcore on it such as red flag and capsul

[Buzzbomb]

you'll love them even more once you get destruction by definition and a match and some gasoline.

So I've heard by everyone else in this threat. I really need to pick up Destruction by Definition.

[POINTLESS5448]

i havent heard battle hyms so i dont know whats on it but destruction by definition is some kick *** ska/punk. a match and some gasoline is also awesome but mostly for the punk stuff. the ska isnt amazing but its good.

[Broken Angels]

They played the UK a while ago. Come to think of it, it may have been two years ago now.
Something like that anyway, I just didn't find out until they had already passed me by :(

[skinnypuppy]

I recently saw them open for pennywise and no use for a name. their energy was insane. the vocalist would go in the crowd half the time and mosh with them while still singing. ****ing insane.

and I forget what the term is, but at one of the shows he seperated the audience and had them all bull into eachother. ****ing INSANE.

[Fritz Plays Bass]

it's called the wall of death, one of the best local bands here, The Flaming Tsunamis (also a ska-core band) do it all the time during the breakdown to one of their songs. It's always a good way to get the crowd going nuts.

[Jersey's Best Dancer]

I have been listening to DBD for two days straight, along with Op Ivy. IDK y, its kinda weird since I dont listen to the ska-punk stuff that much anymore, but these two are an exception.

[Buzzbomb]

I am always in the mood for listening to this band. I finally bought DBD, I love it, I've listened to it 3 times today.

[I Am A Jerk]

decent band, over rated though.

[Iron Bug]

Is it worth it to see there guys with No Use For A Name at the worst venus in my town?

[I Am A Jerk]

No.

[non sequitor]

yes

[DHMauler]

I Saw these guys at a pennywise show i went to on jan.14 or something, they were pretty good i still need to looking into some albums anyone got some cds i should check out?

[Iron Bug]

Destruction By Definition
A Match And Some Gasoline
War Profiterring Is Killing Us All!

And I need Battle Hymns, does anyone have it on soulseek?

[POINTLESS5448]

Is it worth it to see there guys with No Use For A Name at the worst venus in my town?
im going to see them with no use for a name too but the venue isnt the worst. i dont think im going to stay for no use though. im not a big fan.

[I Am A Jerk]

Is it worth it to see there guys with No Use For A Name at the worst venus in my town?
Nothing is worth sitting threw No Use For A Name. Inless the Suicide Machines play before them, then you should probably go.

[Ender_]

I only "have" A match and some gasoline, but I plan on collecting the rest of their stuff. I really like what I've heard.

^.^

[DaveToopes]

I'm an mp3 collector.

[Liebensaft]

I'm an mp3 pirate. Arrgh.

By the way, I have Battle Hymns, Destruction by Definition, A Match and Some Gasoline, Steal This Record, and War Profiteering is Killing Us All. On Soulseek.

[Broken Angels]

I am always in the mood for listening to this band. I finally bought DBD, I love it, I've listened to it 3 times today.
That must've taken what, all of half an hour? :p
I love their Self Titled release, but no one else seems to have mentioned it.

[Hate ur self emo]

Is anyone from UK going to see them at the carling acadamy?

[customerhatesmusic]

they play awesome live shows

[Skidmark Steve]

I have Destruction by Definition, War Profitering is Killing Us All, and Battle Hymns. What's the next album I should go for?

[Iron Bug]

A Match And Some Gasoline, but even bother with the other two.

[Drop The Baby]

Something like that anyway, I just didn't find out until they had already passed me by :(

City Invasion tour to the rescue!

[POINTLESS5448]

so i saw the suicide machines last night. they were opening for no use for a name which im not that fond of but whatever. the only bad thing was the bands that played before them. versus the world and i am the avalanche. they were pretty bad. they werent even punk bands i dont know why they were playing with the ****in suicide machines. whatever. the suicide machines finally came on and they were sick. it was a wednesday night show so there wasnt a very big crowd but it was still cool. they played: your silence, burning in the aftermath, sos, war profiteering is killing us all, 17% 18 to 25, hey, and a couple other songs that i dont know the names of. AAA was there and their bassist was playing. i dont know what happened to their bassist but whatever his name is from AAA was cool. their set was kindof short which im still bummed about but it was a sick show.

[Iron Bug]

It better have been, I dropped down $22.35 for a ticket to see them.

[Skidmark Steve]

It better have been, I dropped down $22.35 for a ticket to see them.
:eek: Expensive!

[Liebensaft]

Yeah really. They better be playing with someone good for that price. If they played with AAA it might be worth it...maybe.

[POINTLESS5448]

hell yeah it would be! i wish they would have played. they were all there so i guess they could of. $22 is a bit steep i paid $15 and that was still a bit steep.

[Iron Bug]

Ticketmaster boned me with charges I dident know about, it was origionally like 12.

[POINTLESS5448]

i wish it was. my ****ing shirt i bought was $12.

[Drop The Baby]

UK tour postponed :(

[diego182]

wwoohooo they rule!

[fatwreckpunk]

UK tour postponed :(

Im looking forward to the tour when they come over, just hope they come down south

[Iron Bug]

These guys were amazing last night. I talked to their merch guy and he said that they're trying to hook up a Adolescents/Suicide Machines tour.

[Drop The Baby]

Im looking forward to the tour when they come over, just hope they come down south

no doubt they will, this Alkaline Trio tour is the only one i can think of that hasn't come down to london

[I Am A Jerk]

These guys were amazing last night. I talked to their merch guy and he said that they're trying to hook up a Adolescents/Suicide Machines tour.

for some reason I have a good feeling that this would end up not happening. but who knows.

[Zappa]

The ska band I am in might open for them in the not so distant future. I don't know if we'll be ready. We're busy people who haven't got many songs yet.

[fatwreckpunk]

does anyone know if destruction by definition is available on vinyl ?
