Sacramento 1992-1999

Violent and twisted nightmare-scapes inspired by Sonic Youth and the Fall. --ss

Sometimes they were great, and sometimes they sucked. Not much mediocre stuff, it was all or nothing. -- dave

"Wild, disjointed noisepunk not far from some of the eem moments heard in the local San Diego cafeteria. Not evil like UOA, nor as mathematically calculating as the Great Unraveling, the Pope Smashers find their noisy rambunctious attitude in another distant urban sprawl - one in which their uniforms glisten under stage lights at all ages venues and cheers rain down at the end of their blistering set. Drained, sweaty and dirty the Pope Smashers leave the stage behind only to wander the streets for days not knowing how to recapture the moments they create while publicly performing their songs. As the guitar and drum barrages ring in your ears the next day, you may wonder how else beside their 7” you can recapture their contempt and bitterness that so enthralled you."
