The Suicide Machines (formerly known as "Jack Kevorkian & The Suicide Machines") are a Detroit-based ska-core group founded in 1991 by current members Jason Navarro and Dan Lukacinsky blending modern ska-punk music with a hardcore influence. They started off by signing a contract with the Disney label, being a producer for some time. Making their mark with the release of Destruction By Definition in 1996, The Suicide Machines have recorded five full-length albums, and achieved some level of commercial success with "Give" on the album Battle Hymns. Member Royce Nunley on vocals and bass (1994-2002) left the group to start his own band Blueprint 76.
Drummer Dereck Grant also left to join Alkaline Trio.
