Search - Smash Palace :: 7

Smash Palace returns with their seventh CD that's filled with 11 rock 'n roll tracks designed to be your soundtrack for the summer of 2010.
'7' delivers what Smash Palace does best: 60's jangle pop, 70's rock swagger, 80's new wave and 90's Brit pop all rolled into a contemporary style that's all their own. It's like listening to songs you know but haven't heard before.
If this is your first Smash Palace listening experience, you've picked a great place to start because the band just keeps getting better with each release. Recorded on a 16-track tape, the band decided to forego computer-based recording and cut the tracks with little alteration to the sounds being created. It's live, it's raw and it's perfect in its imperfections. It's what rock 'n roll is all about. It's the sound of a band that's the real deal; a dedicated band that's paid is dues and continues to create some of the best rock 'n roll you'll ever hear.
The Butler brothers were first discovered by Hilly Kristal at CBGB's then signed to Columbia Records. The band then moved on to Epic Records and now records for Zip Records. They were re-discovered by Art Herman after playing a show at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, 2005. This is the band's third CD release for Zip.
