Stage Buzz: Suicideboys at Aragon Ballroom
NOLA’s Suicideboys are the bad boys of underground metal/hip-hop – making a name for themselves on SoundCloud and YouTube in 2015. While the majority of acts don’t break out from these platforms, Ruby da Cherry and Scrim have defied the odds with an impressive following with a slew of sold-out shows. Tackling subjects unknown in their genres like depression and suicide, Suicideboys are proving that 2019 is the breakout year for the band as they refine their metal/hip-hop chops with the release of the six-song Travis Barker (Blink-182) produced EP Live Fast, Die Whenever – with help from Korn guitarist James Shaffer.
To fans Live Fast is “a highly enjoyable combination of Trap and Thrash Metal and this fusion of musical genres works without sounding corny or forced. The Metal elements of each song don’t overpower the raps in any way, and they complement and punctuate each track,” according to WWR. Suicideboys arrive at the Aragon ballroom Friday, August 16 with Shoreline Mafia, City Morgue, Germ, Shakewell and Trash Talk.
