Suicidal Tendencies

Suicidal Tendencies were originally an American hardcore punk band that later crossed over into thrash metal and even combining both genres. The band were founded in 1981 in Los Angeles, California by Mike Muir, its leader and only permanent member. The group have been credited as one of "the fathers of crossover thrash". Suicidal Tendencies rose to fame with their 1983 self-titled debut album, which spawned the single "Institutionalized". That single was one of the first crossover thrash videos to receive substantial airplay on MTV in America. Since then the band have continued making albums, recently in 2013 releasing the album called 13.
==Links To Peel==
Peel seems to have heard the group from the Repo Man movie (a film which Peel named in 1986 and 1987 as one of the greatest movies ever), where the band's Institutionalized track was used in the film. Some of the tracks from Suicidal Tendencies' debut album were played on Peel's shows and JP even claimed that Institutionalized was one of the best ever tracks he had heard. Later albums of Suicidal Tendencies weren't played on his show, as their music started to crossover into thrash metal, which he wasn't majority keen on.
