Chur · Graubünden · Switzerland — since 2011
Rock with plenty of noise
and zero manners.
Three people, two lead singers, one very loud evening. If Green Day, The Offspring and Sum 41 had a Swiss cousin who never learned to stand still — that's us.

01 — The live show
It escalates. Every time.
Audience, band, lights, video — Head Smashed bring the whole show with them: LED video screens, programmed lighting, fog jets and a set built so nobody gets a chance to check their phone. Everything runs on click and backing tracks, so what you hear on stage is what you booked.

04 — The band
Three from
the mountains.
Head Smashed started in Chur in 2011 and never really calmed down. Driving guitars, fast tempos and choruses the room sings back after the first round — the melodies are the point, the volume is the delivery method.
Two lead singers swap songs all night, the third voice fills in the harmonies. Over a hundred shows in Switzerland, Germany and Austria taught the band what matters live: pace, hooks, and never leaving a gap. The debut album Feeding the Animal was made with US producer Chris Fogal; He's My Demon has since passed a million streams.
