Hello... We are the SMUT PEDDLERS. Like other bands, we started out in a room playing Black Sabbath and Black Flag covers way too loud, in the wrong key, at different speeds for hours at a time like some big twisted tribute. We were having fun. We still play 30 minute versions of Nervous Breakdown and Sweet Leaf, but we're better at it now, and the fun still remains. We realize the band is a business, that's why we are constantly working on new songs. We have been featured in magazines, videos, radio shows, etc... and we have gotten great response from all over the world. Letters from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, U.K., Sweden, Belgium, Japan, Slovenia, Australia, New Zealand, etc... as well as every state in the U.S.. We have the dedication, the motivation, and the determination to make SMUT PEDDLERS a household name. We play our last song as hard as the first, every time. In short, if you're interested in having us play your club, sponsoring us in any way, would like to interview us, or if you would like any information at all please let us know!!!!!
