Suicide Generation is a punk band from the United Kingdom and a classic-sounding punk band at that. But to get an idea of their sound you're going to need to skip the lighthearted sounds of the Buzzc*cks and Sex Pistols for the grimy, gritty punk bred south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Today, we have the video for the lead-off song from their upcoming sophomore album Last Suicide, “Hypnotise Me.”
The Blanks will be releasing Yellow Fading Glimmer on July 6th, but you can hear the first single from the album now (see Surviving the Golden Age debut)...

James Leg (aka John Wesley Myers of the Black Diamond Heavies) is set to release his second proper solo album, BELOW THE BELT, later this summer. Back in his days with the Heavies, Leg laid the foundation for his solo work with his down-n-dirty keys, fervent live performances and trademark gruff howl mixed with equal measures of bourbon, butane & nicotine.
