The previously unreleased Suicide Machines track "Perseverance" is included on the comp. Pick it up or ask for it at your local independent record store. That's all for now. Thanks for the continued support! The Suicide Machines have changed labels and are now on SideOneDummy Records. The next album will be recorded at The Blasting Room in Ft. Collins, CO. w/Bill Stevenson and should be out in the Spring of 2003. Plans for the rest of 2002 include a 5 date tour of Japan in mid-November and our annual Xmas show in Detroit. Also - "The Least Worst of The Suicide Machines" comp. was released in September on Hollywood Records. It's definitely worth picking up as it contains songs off of our last 4 records and some unreleased material. 30 songs in all. We will be updating this site with new info. on a monthly basis.
