Groove Family Cyco / Snapped Lika Mutha is the third album by Infectious Grooves, a 1994 concept record about a family of crazy people (the 'Cycos'). The "Violent & Funky" music video appeared in Beavis and Butt-head.

Recording

The album was recorded at Michael Vail Blum's Titan Studios in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, except the drums which were recorded at Sound City Studios. It was produced by Infectious Grooves and Michael Vail Blum, mixed by Paul Northfield at Larrabee Sound Studios, North Hollywood, and mastered by Brian Gardner at Bernie Grundman Mastering.

Music and lyrics

"Do What I Tell Ya!" criticizes the band Rage Against the Machine, who are well known for expressing anti-corporate, left-wing politics in their lyrics, but are signed with Epic Records, a subsidiary of Sony, a Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation. Mike Muir later stated that Rage Against the Machine's guitarist, Tom Morello, provoked the feud by attacking Suicidal Tendencies.
