The Planet Smashers

About

Fueled by a manic energy and a brass section brighter than the midday sun, The Planet Smashers aren't just playing ska – they're detonating a sonic party wherever they land. This Montreal institution blends the infectious rhythms of traditional ska with the raw power of punk and the melodic sensibilities of power-pop, creating a sound uniquely their own. Formed in the mid-90s, the band quickly carved out a niche with their high-octane live shows and relentlessly catchy anthems. Their breakthrough album, "Life of the Party," cemented their place in the ska revival movement, earning them a dedicated following that stretches across continents. More than just revivalists, the Planet Smashers inject a healthy dose of irreverence and self-aware humor into their music, setting them apart from their contemporaries. Collaborations with fellow ska luminaries and relentless touring have solidified their reputation as one of the genre's most enduring and energetic acts. Currently, they continue to electrify stages with their explosive performances, proving that the party, much like the planet, is still very much spinning. Their recent string of singles show the Smashers aren't afraid to experiment while staying true to their trademark sound.
