Suicidal Tendencies share "Nós Somos Família" reworked in Portuguese with Jay Weinberg on drums

Suicidal Tendencies have recently dropped a new single called "Nós Somos Família." 

The song is a reworked version of their late 1990s track "We Are Family" and is performed in Portuguese. The reimagined piece features various Brazilian artists and was the first studio recording of the band to include their new drummer, Jay Weinberg.

The track features vocals from Mike Muir, Badauí (Cpm22), João Gordo (Ratos de Porão), B Negão (Planet Hemp), Rodrigo Lima (Dead Fish), Supla, Fernanda Lima (Crypta), Sandro Dias, Milton Aguiar (Bayside Kings), Mayara Puertas (Torture Squad), Felipe Ribeiro (Treva), Pirata Homes (Anjo dos Becos), Ya Amaral (Eskrota), Júnior Bass, and Marinho.

Frontman Mike Muir talked with Igor Miranda about the song's creation:

We'd always talked about like doing a song with some other people. And my friends got on the phone. We got Jay in the studio, recorded a track. I said, 'Let me talk to a few people.' They said, 'Who would you want me to talk to?' I mentioned a few people and got everybody in the studio recording on it. And it was just a great to see everybody on FaceTime or whatever doing it, how excited everybody was, how gracious they were with their time and everything. Amazing.

I think when it comes to music, a lot of times people talk about travel and this and that and I always say, you see the side from a hotel room or driving down the road, but when people welcome you and you can go to places and feel at home and they welcome you in their homes and you meet their families and all that, that's an amazing feeling. And then on the music side, for some people to be on a song that you did, that's just something that I never would have dreamed of when it first started.

This release follows Suicidal Tendencies' 2018 album Still Cyco Punk After All These Years and comes after their 40th-anniversary celebrations last year. The band's current lineup includes founding member Mike Muir, as well as guitarists Ben Weinman and Dean Pleasants, bassist Tye Trujillo, and drummer Jay Weinberg.
