GREAT NAME!! shit band :(

I had mates in Edinburgh who were called 'Smear Test'. they tried to sound like DNA/Teenage Jesus etc but basically they just weren't very good. though they were indisputably the first band i ever knew who did that uber-wanky Primal Scream missing out the vowels thang and were thus always billed as SMR TST which is pretty cool.
 
They did it really badly. It wasn't anarchic noise chaos, it was second rate breakcore / industrial done much better by other artists without the teenage tantrums..

The teenage temper tantrums are part of what made them fun for me

Ultraviolence are not bad, but not really the same thing.

I'd put ATR closer to RageAgainstTheMachine and AsianDubFoundation than them. angry teenagers (and they mean it!)
 
i can't take them seriously cos every time i hear their name i think "what's Hansel and Gretel's favourite band? And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Bread" :o


your loss...brilliant band, especially live

named after a Mayan saying by the way
