The band, who hails from New York City, was formed in 2001 and has since shared the stage with such eclectic acts as Coheed and Cambria, 18 Visions and The Used as well as label mates Bleed the Dream and My American Heart, which The SmashUp says suits them just fine. "We have so many different elements� We have been influenced by Black Flag and Bad Brains, but we're by no means a hardcore band and even though we have a punk rock work ethic, I don't think we could be classified as a strictly punk rock band either," said vocalist Watt White.

Featuring such varied acts as The Deftones, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Thursday, Funeral for a Friend and more, this year's "Winter Warped Tour" (as participants like to call it), is expected to draw fans from a mix of genres, all of which seem to gravitate toward The SmashUp.
