CURB APPEAL | VINYL RECORD (LP)

Smith Grind, SMITH GRIND-Hardcore Thrash Punk from Reno, NV. Born from back alley skate spots and punk shows of Reno, Nevada, Smith Grind is a four-piece hardcore thrash punk band built on chaos, grit, and pure sonic violence. Made up of original members of local hardcore band Fall Silent. Formed in 2023 by a crew of heavy-hitting Reno scumbags who bonded over a mutual obsession with Sick of It All, Slayer, and 90's Death Metal. Smith Grind delivers a relentless sound that slams traditional hardcore into thrash metal with sharp, semi-melodic vocals and brutal efficiency. Their high-energy performances hit like a concrete faceplant off a backyard mini-ramp-fast, violent, and unforgettable. As described by Eric Dellon (Shai Hulud, Zombie Apocalypse): 'This is sick. Reminds me of a continuation of 'Drunken Violence'-era Fall Silent. This is skate-thrash that dreams are made of.' Smith Grind - Curb Appeal Out Now From the jagged edges of Reno, Nevada, comes Curb Appeal, the explosive debut full-length from Smith Grind - a band forged in the fire of hardcore lineage and unrelenting personal truth. Featuring ex-members of regional legends Fall Silent, Smith Grind formed in 2023 with a mission to weaponize sound: violent, efficient, and uncompromising. Across 10 tracks of pulverizing hardcore thrash, Curb Appeal blends the fury of punk, the technical ferocity of metal and grind, and the defiant stomp of hardcore. It's a record built for collapse-walls, egos, and expectations alike. Lyrically, Curb Appeal cuts deep. With themes ranging from the slow erosion of self to flashes of clarity in the eye of addiction, from the dull ache of forced joy to the overwhelming force of natural disaster, Smith Grind speaks the language of existential wreckage with poetic brutality. This is the sound of Reno natives raised in a landscape of anger, frustration, and violence-now channeled into something raw, focused, and devastating. Smith Grind isn't just a name. It's the impact of metal on concrete. And Curb Appeal is the scar it leaves behind. Tracklist: 1. All Cock No Brains 2. Sleep Of The Just 3. Dying By Inches 4. Hurricane Land 5. The Black Wave 6.
