New Mullet on Monday - Smash Palace
Mullets big and small adorned the heads of Smash Palace. The band, formed in Philadelphia, released one album in the '80s...
From that (self-titled) album, this is Living on the Borderline, a single that got a good bit of MTV and alternative/college radio play in 1985. A listen might indicate that the band was into the Psychedelic Furs, and, interestingly, the brothers who founded the band are named Stephen and Brian Butler -- but are presumably no relation to Richard Butler.
From their official website, here is an update on the band:
After a few years of touring and waiting for their major label break, the band went on hiatus as the brothers went on to work as staff writers for BMG publishing. Smash Palace reformed in 1999 to record "Fast Long Loud", followed by "Unlocked" (2001), "Over the Top" (2004) and last year's (2006), "Best of 99-06".
In January of this year, the band released a sixth album, Everybody Comes and Goes.
The band's current line-up includes original Smash Palace members Stephen Butler (lead vocals and guitar) and Phil Rizzo (bass).
