"The continuously evolving sound of the band brings together a wide variety of sounds and influences ranging from early punk to modern hardcore." - Prop MinisterBand/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
