During a recent interview with The Travel Addict, Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies) revealed that he is planning to release a new solo album this year. According to him, the effort will feature “a lot of stuff from different projects [he] did.”

Muir said the following:

“For the 40th anniversary, I’m doing a solo record and I’m not trying to make a record that people won’t like, but I really don’t give a fuck and I know they probably won’t, but it’s a lot of stuff from different projects I did, bands, Suicidal songs.”

“All new songs. Suicidal, Infectious Grooves, No Mercy, all these projects that I was in, a thing I just did when we first got to Sony and when we were at Q Prime they called it a solo-cide because they said if anybody heard that, it would kill my music career, which I thought was a very big compliment, but they didn’t think it was a compliment, you know.

I got Thundercat, a lot of the people we played with over the years, Herman Jackson who played Stevie Wonder’s pianos and everything. It’s stuff that you have never heard before. A lot of people probably won’t want to hear it because it doesn’t fit into that ten seconds of familiarity.”

He also added the following about the musical direction:

“You could say it’s a whole spectrum that I think is really good and I like, but it’s different from what other people are doing and there’s not a market for it.”

He continued when asked about release plans:

“I will put it out this year and stuff. It’s definitely different and I like it.”
