The Suicide Machines are a Detroit ska-punk band whose debut album Destruction by Definition (1996) became a touchstone for the genre's mid-90s peak — a record that combined the aggressive energy of hardcore with the rhythmic propulsion of ska in a way that holds up as a definitive document of the era. Their live show has always been the proof of concept: high-tempo, crowd-dependent, built to convert the undecided.
MUGGER opens a bill at The Masquerade on September 7 designed for the audience that followed ska-punk through every wave of its critical reassessment. September 7.
