Smash It Dead Fest began in 2011 as a weekend-long benefit for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC). In addition to raising funds for this crucial organization, the Smash it Dead collective aspires to use punk music, workshops, and discussion as means for spreading awareness about sexual assault. We hope to open doors of communication within our community to deal with these issues in a better, more sustainable way.
The name “Smash it Dead” was inspired by the Spitboy song, Removal. For lyrics and more information on them, visit: http://www.vanguardsquad.com/press/SmashItDead.php
This fest is all ages, and strives to be an inclusive and welcoming space for everyone. We ask that folks attending and playing this weekend be aware of the language they use and how it might affect others; racist, sexist, heterosexist, transphobic, or otherwise oppressive attitudes are not welcome!
