Smash was formed by Ed Borrie (vocals, guitar), Salvatore Alessi (credited as Salv) (bass), and Rob Hague (drums) in Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, England.[2] CareerThe band's sound recalled the late 1970s and early 1980s punk and new wave bands.[2] The British music press were enthusiastic about the band creating a scene called New wave of new wave, along with similar UK bands of the time such as Echobelly, Sleeper, Compulsion and These Animal Men.[2] The band's second single was a tribute to feminism called "Lady Love your Cunt". It appeared on their debut mini album "S*M*A*S*H" which was a compilation of their first two limited edition 7" singles, and was well received by critics. The band made some appearances on UK TV programmes such as Naked City, as well as live performances, including a collaboration with Billy Bragg during an Anti-Nazi League rally. With a recording contract, the band toured tirelessly, increasing press coverage and attention from fans. The trio still found time to laugh at themselves, occasionally performing under the name S*H*I*T*E. The trio made an appearance on BBC Television's Top of the Pops, singing "Shame". They became the first to appear on the BBC's flagship chart show without officially releasing a single - their debut EP having reached number 26 in the UK Albums Chart.[3] Their only hit single was "(I Want to) Kill Somebody", which was only available in the shops for one day in 1994. It reached number 26 in the UK Singles Chart.[3] Its controversial subject matter eventually lead to its banning.[2] Their debut full-length album, Self Abused, was not a commercial success, although the group remained a favourite of the critics.[2] The band recorded a single for the Seattle based label Sub Pop, but S*M*A*S*H remained virtually unknown outside the UK, despite a whistle-stop tour of the United States and support slots across Europe.[2] The EP "Another Love Song E.P." followed in 1995, before the group released their final single, "Rest of My Life", a year later.[2] The band split up in 1996.[2] In 1997 bass player Salv joined Carter USM as a full-time member, but in 2004 the trio reformed, recording a number of tracks for a forthcoming EP and playing several gigs around the UK. Recently Rob has been playing drums for The Bleach Boys. S*M*A*S*H's second LP, Icon was released on 8 October 2007, 13 years after their Self Abused album.[4] Discography{{Infobox artist discography|Artist = S*M*A*S*H |Image = |Caption = |Studio = 3 |Live = |Compilation = |Video = |Tribute = |EP = 3 |Singles = 5 |Miscellaneous= |Music videos = |B-sides = |Soundtrack = |References = }}
