1996 studio album by the Suicide Machines From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Destruction by Definition is the debut album by the Detroit, Michigan, punk rock band the Suicide Machines, released in 1996 by Hollywood Records.[3] It was the band's first full-length album and established their presence in the mid-1990s punk rock mainstream revival alongside the third wave ska movement. The album's musical style blends elements of hardcore punk and ska, which contributed to the band's style being described as ska punk or "skacore." Music videos were filmed for the singles "No Face" and "S.O.S.," with "No Face" reaching #31 on Billboard's Modern Rock charts while "New Girl" was featured on the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtrack, alongside “No Face” and “S.O.S.” being featured in the soundtrack for the PlayStation fighting game Vs.[4] “Break The Glass” was also featured in the soundtrack to the film An American Werewolf in Paris.

To promote the album several promotional clips were created featuring footage from a show at St. Andrew’s Hall in February of 1996 mixed with skateboarding footage. The songs featured were “New Girl”, “S.O.S.”, and “Break The Glass”. The album’s title was decided by Navarro, and it basically refers to the fact that if you place a label on something you destroy it since the band didn’t like being labeled as a ska band. [5]
