About Me

The Smash Babies are a Garage/Punk power trio formed Halloween of 2005 in Warren, Ohio. Members are of ages 16 and 17 and include bassist Mike Boker, drummer Wes Holbrook, and guitarist and singer Alfred James. They are heavily influenced by the Garage Punk movement circa 1958-2007, early Power Trios, and basic Rock and Roll as well as the more obscure sounds of Voodoo Rock and Freeform Jazz. Live shows are known to be highly energetic and, more often than not, climax in a chaotic mess of feedback and broken strings. Contact them at: [email protected]
