Bio provided by artist:
Risen from the primordial ooze of Rotterdam’s dampened DIY-caverns, Smudged scramble the very fabric of krautrock, noise punk, electronic pop and techno to new kinetic heights. Their offbeat live shows structurally unfold in novel forms of madness & mayhem.
The band’s initial flurry of singles & EP’s – including the Death Grips-esque ‘Upside Down / Inside Out’, downer post-punk anthem ‘Stupid’ and live favourite ‘Live a Little’ – are the perfect blend of camp and creativity, leaving crowds both confused and amped out of their minds. Smudged seasoned their explosive sound further on their 2022 & 2023 EPs and this September 2024 saw the release of 7” single The Ball/PPSD (Post-Punk Stress Disorder) on the vinyl label of legendary Dutch music venue Paradiso. In October 2026 a new EP from the band will see the light of day. Now operating at full throttle, Smudged’s shows have become the stuff of legend, always devising new wacky ways to rile up crowds – only to still win them over in the end.
