Oi oi!
Watch our video for ‘Institutionalized', our new Suicidal Tendencies cover, premiering at 10AM B.S.T on Blank TV!
Recorded in early 2024 for Pookout Records’ new compilation Master Of Trumpets, ‘Institutionalized’ was recorded by SB6’s own James Routh (aka Starstuff Music) and co-produced by the band. The track features guest alto saxophone from Sonic Boom Six co-founding member Ben Childs (Killbillies) and mixing duties by Elliot Vaughan (Frank Turner, [Spunge]).
Filmed, edited, produced and directed by ex-Kerrang! Radio DJ, former Scuzz TV presenter and Metal Hammer scribe, Matt Stocks, the plan to make a video for the track was hatched when Barney Boom (Vocals & Guitar) played Matt an early mix of the track before they attended a Green Day show in summer. Matt immediately offered to remake the original track's iconic music video, scene-for-scene, while replicating key locations and props to reflect the changes made to the lyrics.
The video has world premiere on Blank TV, the fiercely DIY punk YouTube Channel where the video for Suicidal Tendencies’ 1984 Frontiers Records original is hosted for posterity.
Master Of Trumpets features eleven metal covers from eleven ska bands from the UK and US, including Suicide Machines, Voodoo Glow Skulls and Redeemon.
Institutionalized’ and Master Of Trumpets hit digital streaming platforms on Friday October 18. Pre-save and stream HERE.
