(Chipster) The SmashUp, one of WARCON Enterprises newest acts to join its family of bands, has planned to make 2006 one of its best years to date. Recently releasing their debut album Being and Becoming, the band has been enjoying critical success for what many industry execs are saying is, quite possibly, one of the years strongest releases within the post-hardcore scene. The band, who hails from New York City, was formed in 2001 and has since shared the stage with such eclectic acts as Coheed and Cambria, 18 Visions and The Used as well as label mates Bleed the Dream and My American Heart, which The SmashUp says suits them just fine. We have so many different elements
We have been influenced by Black Flag and Bad Brains, but were by no means a hardcore band and even though we have a punk rock work ethic, I dont think we could be classified as a strictly punk rock band either, said vocalist Watt White. This diverse sound should mesh well with the bands on the Taste of Chaos Tour. Featuring such varied acts as The Deftones, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Thursday, Funeral for a Friend and more, this years Winter Warped Tour (as participants like to call it), is expected to draw fans from a mix of genres, all of which seem to gravitate toward The SmashUp.
