Smart Cops

The Profile

Punk group formed at the end of 2007. The band’s stage look and origin story reference a failed police recruitment attempt; musically they draw on Dead Boys, the Ramones, 1960s garage and Italian beat.

After tours in the United States, Israel and Europe they released their first full album, issued in CD/digital and vinyl formats. Lyrics often take an ironic, anti-police stance.
