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.
My Cocaine
Smash Into Pieces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
′Cause we are broken in a million ways
I gave you my word
All I spoke was only truth you heard
What else could I do?
Forgive, forget was not enough for you
No relief
You say that you will be better of without me
No doubt about it
Even if it's the only way
I′m always right here waiting cold in the rain
'Cause somehow you're my cocaine
Remember the days
Love in letters now in broken frames
Guess I have learned
That karma bites and that′s what I deserve
Silent breeze
Of a love released, oh
You say that you will be better of without me
No doubt about it
Even if it′s the only way
I'm always right here waiting cold in the rain
′Cause somehow you're my cocaine
Hands up high
I reach for the sky where angels fly
Rather be with them now
The stars won′t shine
Without you
No heartbeats of mine
You're my cocaine
You say that you will be better of without me
No doubt about it
Even if it′s the only way
I'm always right here waiting cold in the rain
'Cause somehow you′re my cocaine
You′re my cocaine
You're my cocaine, oh
In Smash Into Pieces's song My Cocaine, the lyrics speak about a relationship that has ended and the pain and regret that comes with it. The song highlights the need for change when things are broken beyond repair. The singer expresses his vulnerability by stating that all he spoke was the truth, but it apparently wasn't enough for his partner who needed him gone. The pain of the breakup still lingers as the singer recalls the good times they had, now left as only broken memories. The chorus repeats the phrase "you're my cocaine," which can be interpreted as an addiction to the person who left, even though they can't be together anymore.
As the song progresses, the singer recognizes that without his partner, his heartbeats don't bring relief anymore. He acknowledges that he did wrong and deserves the karma that comes with it. The bridge talks about reaching for the sky, but that even the stars won't shine without his lover. The ending chorus repeats once again that the person who left is his cocaine, something he can't shake off no matter how much he tries.
Overall, My Cocaine is a song that speaks about the pain of a breakup and the longing for something that can't be had. The person who left is compared to an addiction, something that is hard to let go of, and the lyrics show the singer struggling to move on.

Noone has a voice like Chris. It's beautiful.
@dinosoid2000
Man there's something about male/female duets that really work amazingly well in hard rock. Lacuna Coil, Bring Me To Life by Evanesence, and that remix Seether did with Amy Lee are some great examples.
