Visit a raw, gut-punching-punk hit with Smut’s latest anthem “Touch & Go”. The song out today, is the latest slice of the band’s forthcoming album, ‘Tomorrow Comes Crashing‘ out June 27th via Bayonet Records.
Tay Roebuck, vocalist and lyricist of Smut, talked about how MGMT’s song “Time to Pretend” inspired the new song saying it “is a broken fantasy that was pretty directly inspired by ‘Time to Pretend’ by MGMT. The pursuit of success and the daydreams we have of ‘making it’ are pretty easily shattered once you put that fantasy in the modern world. The song ends with the realization that the best part of music will always be the community you build with it.”
Tomorrow Comes Crashing will be the first album for Smut with bassist John Steiner and drummer Aidan O’Connor. But the new album will have a theme of “new emotions” for multiple reasons.

Right before traveling to New York, Roebuck and the band’s guitarist Andy Min got married with the rest of the band by their side.
The recording is a DIY labor of love took place over the span of ten days in Brooklyn, NY, with the band crashing on friends’ couches in between 12-hour recording sessions. Smut aimed to make the album sound as loud and bombastic or “live” as possible, capturing the overwhelming feeling of “falling in love with music for the very first time.”
Smut is Tay Roebuck, Andy Min, John Steiner, Sam Ruschman, and Aidan O’Connor.
