They elaborate everyday life themes, expand subjects of happiness and sorrow, earning respect, betrayal, disappointment, the importance of family and friends in life; as well as variety of other themes that substantiate the existence of an individual. With the sound of unfaltering and mighty guitar and the thunderous sound of the drum, as well as the perfectly interweaved sound of the bass that associates with the other two instruments; they altogether create a melody that arises individual’s emotions. Within the essence of this instrumental story, the vocal makes the finish with its individual and specific ability to switch from grind, to the ability of performance of the screaming parts; which makes the transformation an entity of fully achieved composition. SMUT received the recognition for their success with having the honor of performing with bends like Sick of It All, Biohazard, Integrity, Hatebreed,Madball, Ignite, Defdumb, Born from Pain, Death Before Dishonour and many others. SMUT have established three official albums-of which the second one is created in collaboration with Avalon, and the last one created in collaboration with Lithium Records. Their first album is independent and a fully DIY, including the whole process from burning CDs to the production.

2) Smut is the name of the combined efforts of electronic music producers Tech Itch and Sam XL from Pure Filth, Los Angeles. Together their most notable track to date was 'Badman Place', a dubstep track which first appeared as an exclusive on Skreams 'Watch the Ride' dubstep mix tape.

3) Smut was a Riot Grrrl/Grunge band formed in 1990. Originally a 4 piece band consisting of Dawn Miller on guitar, Estelle Thielen on drums and Germain Walseth filling out the rhythm section on bass, along with Germaine Gemberling handling the main vocal duties. With this lineup, the band released the 7" "Wall of Hate" on the famed Mpls. punk label, Profane Existence Records. The band then signed with Spanish Fly and recorded another 7", "Goodness/No Grief", helping to get the band on the road prior to the release of their debut full-length release, "Blood, Smut & Tears". Spanish Fly released this CD in January of 1995. Shortly there after, vocalist Germaine Gemberling got married and decided to call it quits.

After some regrouping and writing some new material, the band hit the road, in support of Blood, Smut & Tears. The band still performed most of the songs on the record, with Dawn and Estelle taking on vocal duties.

The extensive touring schedule helped solidify this newly discovered trio and they began working on their follow-up to "Blood, Smut and Tears". They went into AmRep Studios again with Tim Mac, like Babes in Toyland among others, and proceeded to hammer out 11 songs for the album "Secret Center".
