"Want good pop/rock & roll with intelligent lyrics, terrific arranging and playing? You came to the right place. Get this record and check these guys (and a gal) out.This is what we're supposed to be listening to, not the manufactured, pandering junk that's being forced on us via radio. Steve & Brian Butler know how to write songs. Period. BUY THIS CD."

Rock and Roll is still alive!

"They're sound is reminiscent of the Beatles without sounding "retro" or "classic" at all. Some tracks are a little more bluesy, some a little more brit-poppy, but they really know how to write a fantastic song. This new release by Philadelphia-based Smash Palace keeps your toe tapping through the whole disc. Try, Tell Me What It Takes, and Steal Her Thunder really stand out as my favorite tracks.



As a Philadelphia native, I have had the pleasure to see this band play live, and they really bring down the house. Amazing energy... and great chemistry on stage. If you get the chance, don't miss Smash Palace when they come through your town!"

Why buy the house when you've got the whole Palace right her

"We live in a world where LaToya tops the charts, but fear not because good music is bred on the East Coast. Philadelphia based band, Smash Palace has a sound that rings Beatle-esc, and even a little Tom Petty-y at times. The band's signature songs: New Sensation and Try sparkle on this Best Of CD. Lead guitarist/vocalist Stephen Butler fronts the band that knows how to rock. The Best Of Smash Palace: 99-06 will renew your faith in rock and roll!"
