We are really happy to announce that our new 7" titled "Questions" is out now for Epidemic Records!

It follows "The Wind Of Tomorrow" which was released one year ago and while it sounds different in some aspects, we can say that it completes it.
It's been recorded/edited in Brescia at Mad Dog Studio and mixed/mastered in Rome at Hell Smell studio. We are really satisfied with the result!
Graphics are once again by Lexi at Death And Taxed Designworks, who completely catched our idea and developed it in an amazing way!
The record has been pressed in white vinyl and contains 4 unreleased songs:

SIDE A
-Dog Eat Dog
-Answers

SIDE B
-Sidewalks
-Of Sins And Chains

You can listen to "Answers" on our myspace profile: www.myspace.com/smashrooms

A review of "Questions" is already available, on World's Appreciated Kitsch's webzine! http://wakhc.blogspot.com/
Read here:
'I set new questions to each answer'... That's the motto that The Smashrooms demonstrate in their brand new, yet unreleased, 7".
I know Gab (singer / guitarist of the band) since a couple of years now and I have to state that he is undoubtedly one of the most sincere and dedicated hardcore kids in Italy right now...
The Smashrooms have progressed a lot since their CD 'Rest In War', that World's Appreciated Kitsch co-produced in 2007. They even got more mature than their last 7", called ' The Wind Of Tomorrow", which was released last year.
'Questions' is a fucking awesome piece of modern yet roots based passionate hardcore. To make it clear; they are not the best musicians in the world nor Gab has the best voice among the hardcore singers, but who fucking cares about this dude/tte? Are you serious? The Smashrooms are all about passion, intensity, energy and message-spreading. This is dedication. This is hardcore. Or at least my perspective of hardcore.
Want me to label them? Well, Trial will be proud of The Smashrooms, nothing more & nothing less. The Smashrooms infiltrate the 90s sound via a modern touch, delivering music fueled with melodic guitar riffs and vocals that sometimes sound desperate. Also, there's a melancholic feeling floating in the air and I really like this, it fits my mood as hell nowadays... Lyricwise, the band touches mainly social and political issues. But they do it in such a way that they do not preach at all. They do it an a refreshing way, questioning aspects of reality, while proposing positive solutions. Their lyrics are just thought - provoking, not political hardcore sermons. That's all I guess. A! And I really like the black & white cover, designed once again by Death & Taxes Designworks. Fans of 90s DIY hardcore or new kids wearing Bane & Ignite t-shirts, expose yourselves to The Smashrooms. Fuck the hype. This is underground.
