【HEY-SMITH Profile】

HEY-SMITH makes energetic ska-punk with melodic hooks and an irreverent attitude. Honoring the legacy of 90’s punk and the genre’s roots in equal measure, the Japanese band earns fans worldwide with their fresh, one-of-a-kind blend. They started releasing albums in 2009. Anime fans discovered them in 2023 via “Say My Name.” An authentic live band that connects with crowds via visceral, sweat-soaked, and borderline outrageous performances, HEY-SMITH plays roughly 150 shows a year. HEY-SMITH stands for expression, freedom from conformity, being true to oneself, and good times.
