Smudged are a thunderous musical demonstration of doing whatever youwant. Risen from the primordial ooze of Rotterdam’s dampened DIY-caverns,this fearless foursome scramble the very fabric of krautrock, noise punk,electronic pop and techno to new kinetic heights. Their offbeat live showsstructurally unfold in novel forms of madness & mayhem, with hard-hittingfrontman/drummer Bart Hoogvliet as the group’s razzmatazz agitator.The story of Smudged began like many other bands of their ilk. As childhoodfriends, Hoogvliet and synth/elektronica wizard Mink Steekelenburg startedperforming gigs together without much of a master plan in mind. The duo’slong-honed chemistry started turning heads, enough for other kindred souls tojoin in on their combined mischief.

Victor Heijink’s gatling gun bass blasts andJim Impelman’s tempestuous guitars added both color and gusto to Smudged'sstrange-but-catchy hodgepodge of influences.The band’s initial flurry of singles–including the Death Grips-esque “UpsideDown / Inside Out”, downer post-punk anthem “Stupid” and live favorite“Hypnotized”–are the perfect blend of camp and creativity, leaving crowdsboth confused and amped out oftheir minds. Smudged seasoned theirexplosive sound further on their 2022& 2023EPsand this September sees therelease of7” single The Ball/PPSD (Post-Punk Stress Disorder) on the vinyl labelof legendary Dutch music venue Paradiso.Now operating at full throttle, their shows have become the stuff of legend, always devising new wacky ways to rileup crowds–only to still win them over in the end.Indeed, from their very beginnings to their current daredevil incarnation,Smudged’s distinct brand of chaos is something to witness in order to fullycomprehend. Even then you might still end up thinking: ‘What the hell justhappened?’And that’s exactly the way Smudged like it
