  Personal Evolution Revolution 5 Things The Suicide Machines’ Jason Navarro Would Like You To Know. Jimmy Doom May 21  · 3 min read The Suicide Machines levitating live show. Photo by David Dominic, Jr. If you’re struggling to make something positive out of your time, Jason Navarro might be a good guy to pay attention to. Skating a sonic Stormfront of ska and punk out of Detroit and onto an international stage, The Suicide Machines, fronted by Navarro, were a staple of the glory days of  The Warped Tour  in the ’90s, often compared to seminal Berkeley foursome  Operation Ivy , the band that spawned  Rancid. Navarro, a man of boundless energy and fierce loyalty possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of, and genuine love for music. He demands to give full credit to his musical progenitors. “People think Operation Ivy was a big influence on The Suicide Machines which they are, but  Gangster Fun ,  The Specials ,  Negative Approach ,...
