Artist Profile
B Side ApproachB Side Approach from SMDcrew is a hot-rodding hardcore punk band from Nara/Osaka, Japan, bound for Boston via New York!
SMDcrew is one of the few bands in the Kansai area that has continued the NYHC style lineage of HARDCORE BREAKOUT - SMDcrew.
While keeping the 80's-90's NYHC and Boston's HC/Punk/Oi/Skins at the core of their music, they also inject plenty of the ferocious energy and Thrash/Crossover elements that Japanese Hardcore of the past used as weapons, creating a golden balance between a thick build-up and a driving feel. It is more than a sleeve-cut G-jacket. The band's sound, which is more than a sleeve-cut G-jean, but less than a studded jacket, with their Martin boots tied tightly and suspenders swinging around their arms as they scatter dust, fills live houses with a charm that attracts both old and new hardcore punks and skins alike.
In recent years, the band has taken a different approach, including the inclusion of wind instruments, and is now exploring a new, party-hard side that is more than just bright and cheerful.
They have released two albums and participated in numerous compilations.
In 2022, he will release Bayonets, the core of YCS (Yokohama City Skinheads) and Split 7inch from Back Yard Records.
