SMASH INTO PIECES truly makes modern rock, combining the phenomenal vocal and lyrical depth of Chris Adam Hedman Sörbye with the aggressive yet melodic guitar attacks from Benjamin Jennebo and Per Bergquist, and the hard hitting combination of bassist Viktor Vidlund and drummer Isak Snow.
The band reached the semifinal of the Swedish version of “Sweden got talent” in 2009 but dropped out of the competition to sign a record deal with Ninetone Records. Things however really didn’t work out as planned and the collaboration with the label came to a end after just one released single “Fading” – a song still gaining a great deal of attention and airplay, especially from the leading rock radio station Bandit 106.3.
The band picked up superb feedback from their hugely energetic live shows and in a short amount of time the band had the pleasure of sharing stage with among others Dead By April, Twisted Sisters, Teddybears Sthm, Raised Fists, Mustasch, Treat and many more.
Their first full length international album release came in 2013 with Unbreakable. Further headline tours of Sweden, Finland and the other Nordic countries followed along with support tours of the rest of Europe with Amaranthe
The second album The Apocalypse DJ was released in 2015 and another extensive tour cycle continued alongside. For the first time the band were able to complete a full headline Europe wide tour.
The third album is due for release at some point in 2016 but there has been no confirmed date at this point. The band announced that Isak Snow had left the band on 1st April 2016. Most people thinking this was a joke of some sort awaited further news. The band announced on the 6th of April that there was a new drummer that had joined the band. The only name given at this stage has shown that The Apocalypse DJ has descended and joined the band. No other information is known at this stage.
SMASH INTO PIECES is a must – and will definitely thrive in a larger setting – their sound much definitive says arena. Together, their talent and chemistry will not be ignored or denied.

Smash Into Pieces Lyrics

You're on my mind
I'm writing down what I would say
If we would meet sometime again
Apologize for everything I have done
'Cause I knew you more than most
I turned you close
I'm saying I'm sorry
I'm saying it's not okay
Tell me how
I could use a friend like you
I'm saying I miss you
I've never felt so ashamed
Right now
I could use a friend like you
My thoughts were clouded at the time
What did I think at all
What a slob along to you
(Along to you)
I know that you are not the same
Since you find out I'm number one to blame
'Cause I knew you more than most
I turned you close
A side that was beautiful
I'm saying I'm sorry
I'm saying it's not okay
Tell me how
I could use a friend like you
I'm saying I miss you
I've never felt so ashamed
Right now
I could use a friend like you
All the scars I gave to you
Only time can take away
Like the love I stole from you
We slipped away from each other
Wish for all the ways to make it up to you
And start over new
Mmm
I'm saying I'm sorry
I'm saying it's not okay
Tell me how
I could use a friend like you
I'm saying I'm sorry (sorry)
I'm saying it's not okay
Tell me how
I could use a friend like you
I'm saying I miss you
I've never felt so ashamed
Right now
I could use a friend like you
A friend like you

It's way to late and I'm awake
I'm up late at night, unable to sleep and you're on my mind
You're on my mind
I can't stop thinking about you
I'm writing down what I would say
I'm putting my thoughts on paper, just in case we cross paths again
If we would meet sometime again
In the event that we do run into each other
Apologize for everything I have done
I owe you an apology for all the wrongs I've committed
'Cause I knew you more than most
I was closer to you than anyone else
I turned you close
I confided in you and trusted you
A side that was beautiul
I showed you a side of me that I considered beautiful
I'm saying I'm sorry
I want to express my regret
I'm saying it's not okay
I know that what I did was unacceptable
Tell me how
Please let me know
I could use a friend like you
I need your friendship and support
I'm saying I miss you
I long for your presence
I've never felt so ashamed
I'm deeply embarrassed
My thoughts were clouded at the time
I wasn't thinking clearly
What did I think at all
I'm not sure what went through my mind
What a slob along to you
I acted carelessly and irresponsibly towards you
(Along to you)
(while you were with me)
I know that you are not the same
I recognize that I've changed how you feel about me
Since you find out I'm number one to blame
Since you realized that I'm primarily responsible for what has happened
All the scars I gave to you
I caused you emotional pain and left you with lasting marks
Only time can take away
The passage of time is the only thing that can heal those wounds
Like the love I stole from you
I took away your love and affection
We slipped away from each other
Our bond gradually deteriorated
Wish for all the ways to make it up to you
I wish I could find a way to make amends for my actions
And start over new
I hope we can start fresh and build anew
Mmm

I would like to think this song is in perspective of my best friend who hurt me deeply back in 2020 during quarantine, and that he is extremely sorry for what he did (which he was because he instantly regretted it the moment he betrayed my trust). It has been really hard to let go and move on from the pain and hurt he caused, but I hold onto it until I can find myself again (which, as something being said in the song, is not okay). I've become more shy and cautious of what I share or when I want to speak because I don't want to be hurt again. It is taking a lot of courage in me right now just to post this comment. I would love to share this with my best friend however, it may make things worse for him with that regret, which I have the feeling, he has already moved on from just to bring it back down on him again. I don't know why I'm sharing all of this, but I know, this time, I need to PRESS THAT "COMMENT" BUTTON instead of clicking "cancel" like I always do! Thank you Smash Into Pieces for the music you started out with to the music you release now, I'm currently trying to understand the story you've made with ARCADIA, so I've found myself watching all of your Official Music Videos by upload date just to figure it out. Ha ha. :D
