BAND HQ // [ST]FORMED 1980 • Venice Beach, Los Angeles, CA • Skate-Punk & Thrash

SUICIDAL TENDENCIES

Possessed to skate from Ocean Front Walk pool coping to the circle pit. Flipping up our Venice caps, speeding up the rhythm section, and screaming truth against suburban alienation.

The original Venice Dogtown skate-punk & crossover thrash institution led by Mike 'Cyco Miko' Muir. Founded in Venice, CA in 1980 by Mike Muir amidst the exploding Dogtown skate scene. Pioneer of skate-punk and crossover thrash, their 1983 self-titled debut featuring 'Institutionalized' captured international notoriety, accompanied by Ric Clayton and Lance Mountain artwork and iconic bandana style.
