Offering a gritty Alt-Pop sound bursting with catchy hooks, Smash Boom Pow is blood brothers Ulysses [vocals/guitar] and Zane [drums] Coppard from the Westcoast of Canada. After previewing as-yet unreleased ‘EP #2’ for music industry partners, award winning music supervisor and CEO David Hayman of Supergroup Sonic Branding Co. writes, “[This EP] bites like a rabid wolf, yet as the gnarly vocals lull you into the frenzy, you’re transported to a kaleidoscopic euphoric state, allowing you to enjoy the deep laceration of the sharp guitars and toothy percussion… I like being bitten. I love this EP. I dig SMASH BOOM POW.”
With an abundance of exciting releases lined up, and a full length follow up LP to 2014’s ‘Do You Feel?’ in the works, the boys look to build on the buzz and momentum they have righteously enjoyed sharing with their keen audience thus far. In the studio, onstage, online, and in the streets, Smash Boom Pow is in it to win it.
On a mission to connect with worldwide audiences and leave their mark on music history, there have been many triumphs along the way. Smash Boom Pow’s passion for their craft has attracted the attention of fans, musicians, and industry folk alike – earning them numerous opportunities for creative and career advancement. Among the most powerful and transformative were a top 12 spot in 2015’s Peak Performance BC project and having been selected to partake in the Converse Rubber Tracks initiative.
Smash Boom Pow has had the pleasure of the sharing the stage and performing alongside top-notch acts such as We Are The City, The Pack AD, Dralms, and The Velveteins, as well as a tour of Western Canada with Soft Alarm. A steady supply of quality media to an active and engaged audience has resulted in over 20k YouTube views and song placements in the TV series ‘Motive’ and upcoming indie film ‘THE CANNON’ (directed by Marshall Axani).
For the Coppard brothers, making music as a way of life is a serious endeavour. Friend Mirko Vogel (tour/production manager for Bon Iver, Ratatat, and Chet Faker) states: “The Coppard brothers have an amazing sound, energy and composition style that I find so often lacking in music these days. Smash Boom Pow are building something memorable and unique.”
Hello
Goooood day. Starting to recoup from your recent adventure?
I’m getting there. My legs are still a little sore from trying to keep up with Kat and I could do with a nap but other than that I am fine.
Hello hello!
Hi Janet, how was your weekend?
Me, my little ache is waking up yesterday with a stiff neck, that is to say a deep neck muscle nicely cramped up. Massages etc. helped, but not a lot, and it’s still here today, if perhaps a little better. I even took a Robax or two (ibuprofen + muscle relaxant), which didn’t seem to do much.
Ah well, big deal. But I do have to work on it some more so I can cycle without going ‘ouch’ every time I look left!
Incidentally, on my version of da book of faces, Charlottesville has pretty much swamped everything else.
My weekend was good, and personally uneventful, but Charlottesville took over all the news and my social media.
Yeah, Charlottesville has cranked up the effects of “White” unrest to a brand new level. I speculate that some on the left, those already prone to taking action (“antifas”), are going to harden their tactics. I even wonder how realistic it now is for the White Right to organise any more demonstrations at all.
I guess we’ll find out; there is another Unite the Right march scheduled this weekend in Boston.
“mmmmmmmrrrrhhhhhhh”
In my previous comment, I unfortunately used a couple of sideways v’s, so it disappeared. Inside those was, now in parentheses, (voice of Marge Simpson).
same here re:Charlottesville
Hello all! I had a mostly good, some not so good weekend at RFF. I am exhausted today!
I am glad you are home safe from your adventure Garf. I hope you enjoyed most of it.
I haven’t been tuned into social media or the news much over the weekend but Charlottesville was definitely on a lot of people’s minds. Such hate filled people.
Hi DBS. it was a learning experience
How was Craig Ferguson?
He was great. It would have been nice to get to talk to him after the show but he was off to Glasgow to record a guest spot in a BBC Scotland sitcom (Still Game)

Greetings!
Jury duty today.
Who knew that you must be a US CITIZEN to serve?
Oh, I am so sorry to hear that you were unable to fulfil your civic duty, I’m sure it was a big disappointment to you.
I’ve always wanted to serve on a jury.
I have served before, they said that’s against the law.
They don’t want no Canadians or Communists judgin’ no red-blooded, natural-born American citizen.
Yeah! They might actually listen to the case and give a verdict that follows the rules of criminal law and who would want that?
here are some other left side of Canada boys making new and interesting music. an option in case you are not up for being “bitten”. Banjo O’clock anyone?
i seem to have a real hard time with that copying of embedded code option on Spotify … They are called Moontricks.
I would hoping you would visit today Morgana, I found a place in the UK you might find interesting

@garfielduk I am keen to make a visit! Meet you for a G&T?
thanks for putting the link up for me too.
all part of the service
I don’t sleep in ally ways though so accommodations will need to be sorted out in Nelson.
I didn’t sleep in an alley. I sat behind a small wall next to a Radisson hotel car park, there was no sleeping involved until I got home.
I love an adventure but maybe sleeping is more integral for me.
I lose a nights sleep every time I fly to Canada. Partly through excitement but mostly because I am scared of missing my flight.
international flights are anxiety ridden experiences for me as well but oh so worth it in the long run … especially when music and friends are at the other end of the expenses, security screening and loss of sleep:)
travelling anywhere with a target time can have me feeling a bit anxious
