Heralded by the NME in January 1994 as part of the 'New Wave Of New Wave' - a term dreamed up by writer Paul Moody - S.M.a.S.H were at the vanguard of a crop of bands who drew on the late 1970s punk explosion for inspiration. The scene's other leading lights? These Animal Men. These recordings capture a time in British music when it was trying to find it's way through the thick hair of grunge, that eventually made it's way to the birth and popularity of bands such a Blur, Oasis and Pulp. Spring 1994 was S.M.a.S.H's debut mini album and combined together the first two singles released on Le Disques de popcorn and was a tribute to feminism. The mini album features the exhilarating L*L*Y*C, Shame & Real Surreal. Pressed on 140g Black Vinyl, along with 4 page booklet containing lyrics, photos and more!

Simo is an adventurous rock & roll trinity, a thriving creative partnership completed by JD's combustible guitar playing and soulful vocals, and Let Love Show the Way is a game-changing album from a band in the midst of an evolutionary breakthrough. InchI'm a stranger here,Inch JD belts on the record's opening salvo, all mysterious swagger and smoky, down home grit. But for a band with such memorable songs, uncommon rapport and awe-inspiring musicality, Simo can take solace in knowing the line won't hold true much longer.
