   About Smash The Statues
NEW MERCH: 100% SWEATSHOP FREE / FAIR TRADE / ORGANIC!



Smash The Statues, started in 2003, is a Dutch hardcore punkband from Nijmegen and Utrecht that plays hardcorepunk in the vein of bands like Rise Against, Strike Anywhere, I-Spy and Propagandhi. Smash The Statues released their first demo CD in 2003 containing 4 songs. The demo was well received in magazines and e-zines and got the band a lot of shows. In 2005 the band recorded their first full length album “Against The Stream”. The album was released in February 2006 by Angry Youth Records. Good reviews generated more shows and paved the way for European tours to the UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Sweden and Norway.
In 2008 the band returned to Die Tonmeisterei studio in Oldenburg (Germany) to record a new record. “When Fear Is All Around Us” was released in December 2008 by Shield Recordings on CD and LP. This record was also well received and gave the band new opportunities to tour through Europe again, this time in Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Austria and Germany.

Smash The Statues played in famous Dutch venues as Melkweg, 013, Doornroosje, Dynamo, W2 and played festivals like De Valkhof Affaire in Nijmegen and Trashfest in Hoogeveen. The band played with bands like Strike Anywhere, Strung Out, Beatsteaks, Against All Authority and Modern Life Is War.

Inmiddels zijn 200 boeken verkocht en de pers is positief over Muziekreis door het Berlijn van toen en nu - van jazzhel tot technohemel.

Duits.de:
‘Ik vind dat Jonker … die klus heel goed geklaard heeft.’
‘Het boek is over de gehele linie - algemene geschiedenis en muziekgeschiedenis - toegankelijk geschreven en bevat talrijke anekdotes.’
‘Alles wat langs moet komen komt dan ook langs: de jazzgekte van de jaren '20, de Schlagers van de jaren '30 en '40, Rock'n Roll, Punk, Techno - alles.’


Festivalinfo.nl:
'... geeft het boek een zeer goed en uitgebreid beeld van de muziekcultuur in Berlijn.'

FONK:
'Al met al is het werkje een leuke alternatieve reisgids voor wie binnenkort naar de Duitse hoofdstad gaat. Kort, krachtig en vlot opgepend.'

Trajectum:
'... is vooral voor Berlijn- én muziekfans een must voor in de trein richting Berlin Hauptbahnhof (waar je na het lezen van de eerste pagina's meteen op wilt stappen).'

Het boek is t/m 31 juli met korting online te bestellen voor EUR 14,-. Daarna geldt de normale winkelprijs van EUR 15,95. En ook in de winkels gaat het hard. Velvet Music moest al bij bestellen, nadat ze uitverkocht waren. Bestel jouw exemplaar nu!
