Thanks for all of your support. Butler and the band

Here’s something from the vaults. This is a recently discovered copy of the demo that Quincy recorded at CBGB’s in 1978. It was the recording that helped the band get its record deal with Columbia Records.

It’s live and raw and what the band really sounded like compared to the actual record made in 1980. Some never released songs are on this recording too. You can get the CD for free as a bonus CD whenever you purchase any Smash Palace or Quincy CD from our store.

Here’s the running order.

1. 1. Always in the News
2. 2. Can’t Live in a Dream
3. 3. Modern Man
4. 4. Privileged Few
5. 5. Salvation Fantasy
6. 6. Star Rover

PS: for those of you who are unfamiliar with Quincy, it’s the band the Butler brothers were in right before Smash Palace. Quincy band members were

Gerald Emerick vocals and bass

Brian Butler vocals.

Steve Butler guitar and vocals.

Wally Smith keys

Bob Holden drums

Check out our new video directed by Gerald Emerick Below! The song is called ‘Bridge Of Sighs’

From the article:

Smash Palace – 7 (Zip)

I lost touch with Smash Palace after their first four albums, but I’m extremely pleased to re-acquaint myself with a guitar pop band who I always felt should be held in the same high regard as Fountains Of Wayne and Matthew Sweet. Indeed, Smash Palace’s seventh record (the imaginatively titled “7”) confirms everything I suspected. Their style of pop, which is both extremely catchy and accessible – though never throwaway – borrows from the best. Slower songs, “Holding Out For You” and “Secret Life” are very much Beatles influenced, without being derivative. When they’re turning it up and going for it, they’re just as choosey with their influences. “Win It All” is Motors(esque) and urgently needs a home on the radio, “How Can You Say?” is a toe-tapping blend of CvS, Rubinoos and Badfinger.

I’m going to have to find the albums I’m missing from my collection sooner rather than later.

Smash Palace’s style spans the decades

Smash Palace

When: 8:30 p.m. today; doors open 6 p.m.

Where: Puck, 14 E. Court St., Doylestown, Pa.

Admission: $7, age 21 and older only; (215) 348-9000

They’ve got a little to offer from each of the last seven decades.

A little rock “n roll? Sure.

Power pop? Definitely.

Jingle-jangle of the ’60s? Right on.

Smash Palace has a little touch of everything familiar, yet a sound that’s all its own. Tonight you can catch the band live as it performs songs off its latest (and seventh) album, appropriately titled “7,” at Puck Live in Doylestown, Pa.

The South Jersey band’s bio self-describes its sound as a mix of the Beatles meets Badfinger meets Tom Petty, and, to a large extent, that’s spot on.
