Biography

Smack was a Finnish rock band that was active from 1982 to 1990. Although Smack never achieved huge commercial success, they have a very strong cult following and they are regarded as one of the most influential Finnish rock bands. Smack has been cited as a major influence for bands such as Guns n Roses, Mudhoney and Nirvana. Smack released a total of four studio albums: Smack On You (1984), Rattlesnake Bite (1985), Salvation (1987), and Radical (1988). In addition to these, a live album titled Live Desire (1986) was also released. The band took their musical influences from punk rock and garage bands like The Stooges, New York Dolls and the classic rock of The Rolling Stones and The Doors.
