SMASH... the coolest Aussie glam band u have never heard!

[glam_junkie]

Say hello to SMASH

 

 

Sleazy glam from Adelaide, Australia circa 1989.

Amazing that a band like this can go undiscovered.

 

Their original reels were coverted a short while back and they have launched a myspace page to feature the tracks.

Unfortunately the tapes suffered a bit of damage in storage but they are doing the best to restore them. Depending on how well they can be recvoered, one of the current crop of re-issue labels have gotta jump on these guys.

 

Is that Stevie Rachelle on vocals, or just his twin brother?!?!? These guys were sleazy glam, and lsitening to their songs... they make the candy harlots sound like church choir music.

 

Check them out!

wow.......... it's sure been a long time comin.................. I hope all the recordings get out... the songs are too good to be left out due to reel quality

Very cool stuff, suprised they're not well known in Australia. Do you know if they ever released a demo/cassette/CD or anything?

I'm wondering if that Kick Start poster is the Aussie band who released 'Hook Line N' Sinker' etc. in the early-mid 90's

I've been trying to get hold of all their CD's/EP's for some time now but no such luck.

 

BTW Smash - 'Out For Blood' kicks ass!

i don't believe the released anything but I know 2 of the guys so will check with them next time I speak with them.

Wow, looks like a cool one to check out at home when I get back on track. Never heard of them.

[Retrospect Records]

SunCity should be all over these guys.

[Geoff]

Not too bad. 'The heartache remains' sounds to be the best of that lot. To be completely honest, not overly blown away but I'd still like to check out a disc. And it's cool to see a band like this come out of Australia.
