Fat Smith is a 4 piece rockfit from Hamilton, with a knack for "shoving grooves into the mouths and down the throats of fans" - it's no wonder this power rock indie act is gaining momentum!

The band has played two Supernova.com entry level battles including a 2nd place finish in our High School Battle of the Bands. After also winning an online Wildcard vote from fans, Fat Smith ran with it all the way to the Rogers Spring Music Festival stage - again winning over the crowd with their "gutsy, unweilding rock."


By popular demand, Supernova.com sat down to interview the foursome and talk about their unfolding indie rock story.

So who is Fat Smith; how does each individual fit into the band?

Sam on vocals, Gykes on guits, KJ on the low end, Zeno on the beats... not Phill.

Haha ok... how did you come together and what got you where you stand as a band today?

Gykes found Sam, Sam found KJ then Phill, Phill found Judas Priest covers… and Zeno was found on eBay - his ass was cheap.
