"The sound guy said you're the best band he's heard since he started here...he's been here a week." - The Elbow Room "Wow! Very fast, high-energy punk propelled by their frenetic drummer." - RUI Music "Just shove a chain saw up their asses next time" - Paychecks Lounge "Fast, fast, fast...and tight!" - Crazy Mark TV "With a hint of Speed Punk to inspire people to break stuff, these guys made me laugh while the adrenaline pumped. I was so impressed by Smashbandits that I went back to see them a second time!" - Glass Eye Magazine SMASHBANDITS: MrDave (vocals/guitar 2000-2006, 2012) Smokin' Johnny (guitar 1999-2006, 2012) SD (drums 2001-2006, 2012) J40 (bass 1999-2002) Slim (bass 2003-2005, 2012) Fat Tony (bass 2006) JR (guitar/bass 2012) "The continuously evolving sound of the band brings together a wide variety of sounds and influences ranging from early punk to modern hardcore." - Prop Minister
Band/artist history
If you have a pulse and live in the Detroit area or within earshot of any venue, you will know Smashbandits. Loud music, friendly energetic crowds and cold beer are the main ingredients of every Smashbandits show. The music is speed-punk. Refusing to conform to the mainstream sound of modern "punk", the bold guitar crunch, pounding drums, agile bass and lightning fast melodies have distinguished Smashbandits as a Detroit classic.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes. Mainly around the Motor City. We love playing to empty bars and drunks. Final show was Sept. 8, 2006. One-time reunion held at SMASHBASH 2012
