Japanese punk rockers, HEY SMITH, are delighted to announce that their most recent album, ‘Rest In Punk’ will be released physically in the US on August 23. Teaming up with the US based record label, Bad Time Records, the LP will be available as a “WORLD EDITION”, and will include a new song called “Feel My Pain”, which along with the other tracks on the album, were re-mastered by Howie Weinberg Mastering. The band just released the official music video for “Feel My Pain”, which can be seen here.
The album also includes the song “Say My Name”, which was featured as the ending song of the popular anime ‘Tokyo Revengers Tenjiku Arc’.
Honoring the legacy of 90’s punk and the genre’s roots in equal measure, the Japanese band earned fans worldwide with their fresh, one-of-a-kind blend. An authentic live band that connects with crowds via visceral, sweat-soaked, and borderline outrageous performances, HEY-SMITH plays roughly 150 shows a year. The band stands for expression, freedom from conformity, being true to oneself, and good times.
