SMP

SMP, aka Sounds of Mass Production, is Jason Bazinet. SMP's music has been described as cyber-punk, a blend of industrial-dance and rap-rock. It's danceable, aggressive, and diverse.

In 2004, SMP released its 6th album, Crimes of the Future. This much-anticipated follow-up to SMP's Terminal album was mixed by former Reconstriction label mate, Wade Alin of the volatile coldwave act, Christ Analogue.

In 2003, SMP leaves Martin Atkins' (Pigface) Invisible Records on the basis of contractual disagreements.

SMP's previous five releases, Hacked (2001), Terminal (2002 & 2000), Ultimatum (1998) and Stalemate (1995), brought SMP through four record labels, and to thousands of rivet-heads across the USA with nine national tours.

SMP's live shows are an amalgamation of the physical and the electronic. Expect furious drumming, biting guitar, punk & rap styled vocals, and a mess of electronic sounds. Think of a hip-hop Blade Runner, if you can.

SMP was founded in 1992 by Bazinet and Sean Ivy, and the pair debuted in 1995 with Stalemate. Due to Ivy's departure from the band and his request, all future SMP releases will feature material exclusively by Bazinet.
