Smash The Statues

WHEN FEAR IS ALL AROUND US out on December 6th.

About Me


Smash The Statues started in 2003, playing hardcorepunk in the vein of Good Riddance, Strike Anywhere, I Spy and Propagandhi. September 2003 they released their demo, containing four raw hardcorepunk songs. This demo was well recieved in magazines and e-zines. With this demo, many shows were played and at the end of 2004, new tracks for a full length were written. These songs were recorded in Die Tonmeisterei in Oldenburg, Germany. February 2006 the first Smash The Statues full length called Against The Stream was born, released by Angry Youth Records. The new record contains 12 tracks and was followed by lots of shows. Smash The Statues toured across The Netherlands, The UK, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Austria and Slovenia. Smash The Statues played shows with Strike Anywhere, Strung Out, Against All Authority, Modern Life Is War, Leftöver Crack, Seein Red, The Indecision Alarm, Enemy Alliance, Red Lights Flash, G.A.S. Drummers and Belvedere.
