Smashed To Pieces have named themselves after a lettering by conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner and take a political and poetic stance with their lo-fi arrangements. Ingeborg Bachmann is quoted on their website: "The carnage takes place within the bounds of what is permitted and moral." Sound and text meet here just as radically as poetry and punk.
