BY DEFINITION Smashrays according to Dave B: Both the apex and the essential minimum of smashrays is a nylon stringed guitar riff over a mid-tempo hiphop beat. Smashrays according to Bill Johnston:frosted tips, shades, cold OJ, pool parties, crunchy snacks, Saturday afternoon movies, seeing your friends, boat rides, a good Monday morning, reruns, helping your brother and sister, nerf footballs that whistle, a new flavor of chips, shaving your head, growing your hair out, having to do something but making plans for later, saying hi to people, sweet sauce, seeing your cousin on the street, knowing the multiple choice, frozen waffles, 5 blade razors, new beads, boards, blades, visors, acoustic guitars, warm breaks, ultimate hooks and sick laughs. A unique stakeholder in the late 90's / very early 2000's world of positive music. Not to be confused with pop punk, ska, positive HC or swing revival, the smashray is a distinctive blend of hooks, sunny drum breaks, acoustic guitars and relaxed vocals. With some variation - i.e. the 60's inspired positive party anthems of Smashmouth - you can also think of the Smashray as a feeling: infused with light, bright, natural, unashamed of joy. | |
