Luicidal is a punk rock band from Venice, California, formed in 2012. The band consists of Mando Ochoa (vocals), Marty Ramirez (guitar), Louiche Mayorga (bass) and R.J. Herrera (drums).
Bassist Louiche Mayorga decided to form Luicidal with his former Suicidal Tendencies bandmate R.J. Herrera after he missed "being on the stage as an artist". In order to put the band together, they were joined by Mando Ochoa(Sick Sense) on vocals and Ricky Reynaga(Rated X, Rolling Papers and Sancho's Revenge) on guitar. ) Louiche got the name "Luicidal" from one of his fan that he met in 2011. His fan is known by many people in the metal/punk scene in L.A. by his nickname "Luicidal antonio". He ended up being good friends with louiche and got a chance to play a few shows with luicidal(band) as a backup reserve vocalist. When their permanent vocalist couldn't make it to a show he would fill in. Now louiche friend "luicidal antonio" is band manager of 80s venice band beowülf and is a radio show co-host with the lead singer of beowulf dale henderson called wülfshow on los anarchy radio station. Luicidal(band) performs songs from Suicidal Tendencies' first three studio albums, Suicidal Tendencies, Join the Army and How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today; the first two featured Mayorga on bass, while the last two featured Herrera on drums.
Luicidal released their debut album Luicidal on October 14, 2014 on DC-Jam Records.

Rich Dodgin from All About The Rock said "This is an album of old school punk rock, Venice Beach style, and an album that I'm going to have on repeat play for a long time to come". Luicidal will promote the album with a U.S. and European tour.
