Seminal Detroit ska-hardcore outfit Suicide Machines will be doing a run of dates with Break Anchor, Derek Grant and Bastardous in April. They will be doing their 1996 album Destruction By Definition in full. Also joining them will be longtime drummer Derek Grant (Alkaline Trio), who played with the band from 1992-1998.

Suicide Machines officially took an indefinite hiatus in 2006, but have been playing a handful of reunion and local shows periodically since 2009. The band’s guitarist/vocalist, Jason Navarro, will be pulling double duty on this tour playing guitar for Break Anchor as well. Break Anchor is set to release a new full-length album sometime this year, but details on that are still under wraps.
