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.
Disaster Highway
Smash Into Pieces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im stuck in a lie,
My dreams have been replaced by rules to follow,
I´ve been a slave for so long,
Cant get my freak on,
About to unleash the fucking fury,
Time to make a change before its too late,
Leave all the evergrey,
Im breaking up with my disaster highway,
I think its time to play,
To do things my own way,
Im breaking up with my disaster highway (my disaster highway – ooooh),
Im not what I was,
Im dead serious,
They took me for a ride,
Them sneaky vultures,
I can not take it no more,
This life aint hardcore,
No one appreciates my sacrifices,
Time to make a change before its too late,
I gotta get away,
Leave all the evergrey,
Im breaking up with my disaster highway,
I think its time to play,
To do things my own way,
Im breaking up with my disaster highway (my disaster highway – ooooh),
Dont fade to black,
Your call is stronger,
Dont let life pass you by,
No turning back,
The lies are over,
Enjoy your playground,
Youll know Im right,
When you grow older,
I gotta get away,
Leave all the evergrey (hey hey),
Time to make a change before its too late,
I gotta get away,
Leave all the evergrey,
Im breaking up with my disaster highway,
I think its time to play,
To do things my own way,
Im breaking up with my disaster highway,
My disaster highway (oh oh oh oh),
My disaster highway,
The lyrics to Smash Into Pieces's song "Disaster Highway" deal with the feeling of being trapped in a life that is not yours and being forced to follow rules that you don't believe in. The singer is disillusioned and feels like he has been taken advantage of by people he trusted. He is ready to break free and make changes before it's too late. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm breaking up with my disaster highway" which suggests that he is taking control and leaving behind the life that was dragging him down. The bridge encourages listeners not to give up and to enjoy their lives while they can.
The lyrics are relatable to many people who feel trapped in their jobs or personal lives. The metaphor of a "disaster highway" suggests that the singer's life was heading towards a crash and he needed to change course. The use of the phrase "breaking up" in the chorus ties the song to the end of a relationship, reinforcing the idea that the singer is leaving behind a life that wasn't working for him.
One interesting fact about "Disaster Highway" is that it was featured in the popular video game NHL 18. The song has also been used in various sporting events and television shows. Another interesting fact is that Smash Into Pieces is a Swedish band that formed in 2008 and has been steadily gaining popularity in Europe and North America. The band has released four albums to date, with "Disaster Highway" being a track on their third album, "Rise and Shine". The music video for "Disaster Highway" was directed by Marcus A. Holmberg, a talented Swedish filmmaker. The video has over half a million views on YouTube as of writing.
