Ska Punk Group SMITZ formed in the summer of 2005 in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. The group was influenced by bands like Operation Ivy, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Rudiments and Adolescents. SMITZ has shared the stage with bands such as Voodoo Glow Skulls, Leftover Crack, Face To Face and Millions Of Dead Cops. They started recording their first album in 2006 when it was originally titled"Burning In". The group was filled with plenty of spirit and plenty of songs, but as time went on recording the project they progressed musically and before they knew it it was 2008 and the album sounded off putting to them. So SMITZ came to the realization that they needed to re-record "Burning In" and really accent how much the group had improved since the beginning of the process. So was born "Cretin Crossover" with better vocals, guitar, bass, and drums. The group set out for the next 4 years to make the best album in their power to create. And finally it was released on August 6th, 2012. The album features a variation of different styles of music, such as Punk, Ska, Reggae and Surf.
