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.

Glass Eye Magazine:
"Smashbandits, have a message in their lyrics, typical of punk, but highlighted by the "Fuck Off" attitude. 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 with Smashbandits that I went to see them a second time!"
Hardcore-Times.com:
"No frills, no pop punk crap; these guys are the perfect antidote to the mainstream "so-called" punk currently saturating the airwaves and the impressionable minds of teenagers who waste their money on Sum 41 tickets.
Fans of Bad Religion, Misfits and the Ramones will enjoy their mix of aggression and melody. The Bandit’s blend of down to earth punk with a working class sensibility provide a welcome change from the usual snobby hipsters that pass for local Detroit punk."
