The Suicide Machines in Detroit

The Suicide Machines are an American ska-punk band formed in Detroit in 1991. They play fast ska-punk and hardcore punk, and became known through the album Destruction by Definition and songs including “New Girl,” “No Face” and “Break the Glass.” Later records include Battle Hymns, A Match and Some Gasoline and Revolution Spring. The Suicide Machines played the Vans Warped Tour during the 1990s and returned to the festival in the 2000s, taking their horn-driven punk set around North America. After disbanding in 2006, the group reunited in 2009 for a hometown concert at Saint Andrew’s Hall.
