SINGLE REVIEW: SMASHING AGAIN - You Know It’s True

‘You Know It’s True’ marks an independent release from Michel Alioscia Mazzolini’s project SMASHING AGAIN. Produced by Mazzolini and distributed through Distrokid, the track aims for an authentic, raw sound, recorded with a live, unpolished feel. Drums were laid down on tape, bringing a certain warmth, while the mixing and mastering process was geared toward maintaining the music's true-to-life vibe.

SMASHING AGAIN is Mazzolini’s alternative rock venture, with a focus on creating music that feels genuine and rough around the edges. He writes all the music and lyrics himself, while drummer Matteo adds his personal flair to the tracks, contributing to their distinct sound.

‘You Know It’s True’ opens with a deep, girthy intro that quickly evolves into a brighter, dreamlike atmosphere, enhanced by the charming, chiming guitars. The sound then thickens, building up with robust guitars and thoughtful drumming that inject bursts of energy throughout the track. The rough, raw vocals are a standout, with Michel’s French accent coming through, adding an extra layer of character and authenticity.

The track is a unique blend of indie rock, punk’s DIY spirit, and expansive rock soundscapes. It’s both creative and original, pulsating with energy while also offering moments of dreamy introspection, making it a captivating listen.
