YEAH THRASH!!

Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
Always wanted an excuse to do an undiluted thrasher and Jude Law's 80's challenge provided it!
Lyrics
Should have paid more attention When those weirdos came to the door Offering salvation And the key to Heaven's door Giving out their pamplets Which I ripped up on the floor Regret's overwhelming me now. I always tried to live A good and moral life Following the scriptures Always trying to do what's right Now in my final moment I realise my plight No-one can redeem me now. What was I supposed to do? Each one said that they were true So I followed what I believed was the one But it was one of the other gods All along The other gods don't care If you lived your life well They just take their faithful And let the rest Go to Hell So take out "What God" magazine Read all the reviews Think long and hard About which one to choose Check out all the ratings Let them be your guide* *Please note: no warranty is given or implied

This is so wonderful Seth!!!!! I can actually see you on stage with this GREAT '80s song - just like your pic for the CBC 1980s Song Challenge. The Smivets are at your best in musicianship on this song. And the production is excellent.

As I listen to this, I'm thinking how well it would fit with some of our FusionFall project ideas. If interested, and hope you are, pls contact MD. ;)

A fantastic grip of genres you have! This sounds so real, it's not just fooling around, it could have been right out of the 80's. Can you really play that fast? Or did you cheat just a little bit :0) Remarkable sound, any way.

Totally nailed the early thrash vibe, atonal twin guitars and "exotic" scale work. I hear Dave Mustaine is always hiring new guitarists! ;) Love it :)

This reminds me a lot of those early 80's/late punk years. Brilliant job on the vocals. Stonking loud, aggressive and in your face music. Excellent stuff.
