Hailing from Sweden hardcore, punk rock band Smash It Up are releasing their album "Not Aiming Just Swinging" later this month. Smash It Up will be rippin' it up through Europe for a tour during October and November (scroll down for dates and venues). With influences of The Clash, Rancid, The Damned, Ramones, and Sham 69, Smash It Up kicks it out punk rock style creating their own sound with anti establishment lyrics about today’s issues.

Smash It Up are a fast and furious band with nose bleeding drumbeats, infectious guitar riffs and chanting style vocals rippin' out the contagious lyrics. Smash It Up explodes with raw pure adrenaline, punk attitude, and aggression. The kick ass tracks I listened to were Generation Next, Nation Of Zeros, One Shot, Organized Crime , and Welcome to the Zoo. Generation Next, Organized Crime and Nation Of Zeros are the tunes that infected my blood and travelled through my veins to get pleasantly stuck in my head. "Too bad so sad you pass it down generations." - Nation of Zeros.

Check out Smash It Up now and get your paws on a copy of the kick ass album "Not Aiming Just Swinging" released later this month!
