California crossover thrash/hardcore punk legends SUICIDAL TENDENCIES have announced that they have recruited Xavier Ware as their new drummer.

This move comes after the recent departure of Jay Weinberg, who had been with the band since March 2024.

Ware, a seasoned drummer from North Carolina, has been drumming since he was two years old.

He has extensive experience in various settings and is grateful for the opportunity to play drums with SUICIDAL TENDENCIES.

Ware's sound aims to touch every heart, soul, and mind.

SUICIDAL TENDENCIES' current lineup consists of vocalist Mike Muir, lead guitarist Dean Pleasants, rhythm guitarist Ben Weinman, bassist Tye Trujillo, and now Xavier Ware.

The band has been on a roll since last year's ShipRocked cruise announcement and is looking forward to seeing fans there.

Ware's addition comes as part of the band's preparations for their upcoming shows and festivals in 2026 and beyond.

SUICIDAL TENDENCIES' new drummer is eager to officially jump on board with ST, starting with the ShipRocked Cruise.

This will be his third time doing ShipRocked, and each time keeps getting better."
