Spanish Fly Records

Smut

Smut formed in1990. Originally a 4 piece band consisting of the current members, Dawn M on guitar, Estelle T. on drums and Germain W filling out the rhythm section on bass, along with Germaine G. handling the main vocal duties. With this line up, the band released the T” Wall of Hate on the fame Mpls. punk label, Profane Existence Records. The band then signed with Spanish Fly and recorded another 7”, Goodness/ No Grief, helping to get the band on the road prior to the release of their full-length release, Blood, Smut and Tears. Spanish Fly released this relentless powerful CD in January of ‘95. Shortly thereafter, vocalist Germaine G. got married and decided to call it guits.

This turn of events didn’t dampen the spirits too long, as the rest of the band has not lost a step. After some regrouping and writing some new material, the band hit the road, in support of Blood, Smut and Tears. The band still performed most of the songs from the record, with Dawn and Estelle taking on vocal duties.

The extensive touring schedule helped solidify this newly discovered trio and they began working on their follow-up to Blood, Smut and Tears. They went into AmRep Studios again with Tim Mac, Like Babes in Toyland among others, and proceeded to hammer out these 11 songs with a title we like to call Secret Center. These songs have a sound that feels like a tighter unit, communication better than ever to bring their strong, unforgiving message to you.

Smut hold back nothing on this record and neither should you. The gals are gearing up to hit the road immediately following the release for an extensive tour of the entire country. Then they’ll come back home and get ready to do it all over. The band will do instores, interviews, and much more in support of Secret Center and Spanish Fly will be servicing radio, press and tour press. Posters will be made available and look for the album to appear in February listening booths. Ads will also be placed in key press and co-ops tagging key stores in strong markets
