BIOGRAFIJA ---------- Bend SMF je nastao pocetkom 1989. godine, kao projekat cetvorice muzicara koji su inace vec svirali u svojim maticnim grupama (Brainstorm, Amnesia, Kerozin). Ideja je bila da SMF nastupi na festivalu koji se odrzavao u SKC-u i da se svira crossover u stilu S.O.D., G.B.H. i Suicidal Tendencies, a da tekstovi budu jednostavni, "bolesni", sarkasticni i apsurdni. Nas stil je karakterisao brutalan zvuk, agresivna svirka puna neobicnih brake-ova i ne bas uobicajeni gitarski rifovi i harmonije. Sve je bilo zamisljno pre svega kao dobro zezanje i parodija, a tako je i bilo. Jos jedna zanimljivost vezana za ovaj nastup je u tome sto je 8 pesama napisano u jednom danu (?!?). Iako je sve pocelo kao zezanje, publika u SKC-u je prihvatila SMF mnogo bolje nego ostale, tada poznatije grupe. To nam je bio glavni podsticaj da nastavimo da radimo i dalje. Prva postava SMF-a je bila: Kokan - vokal (bendovi: Amnesia, Kerozin, X-centar) Djura - gitara (bendovi: Crist, Brainstorm, Overdose, Svarog, THC) Dare - bas (bendovi: Genocide, Heller, Brainstorm) Francuz - bubnjevi (bendovi: Charisma, Amnesia) Takodje, ideja je bila da niko ne svira svoj maticni instrument, nego neki drugi, na kome se slabije snalazi. S obzirom da su Djura, Kokan i Dare gitaristi, a Francuz basista, prakticno je jedino Djura svirao svoj instrument. Posle koncerta u SKC-u Djura i Kokan se vracaju svojim maticnim bendovima. Zbog izuzetno pozitvne reakcije svih onih koji su culi SMF-ove stvari, Francuz i Dare odlucuju da nastave sa radom, uzimaju svoje instrumente koje inace sviraju, a pridruzuju im se Sale (ex-Kerozin, ex-Amnesia) i Sola (ex-Brainstorm, ex-Svarog): Sale - vokal Dare - gitara Francuz - bas Sola - bubnjevi U ovoj postavi SMF je radio do 1994. godine. Posle nekoliko svirki, 1989. godine snimili smo, sada vec legendarni, demo snimak u studiu Zodijak u Zemunu. Demo je imao 9 stvari i trajao je oko 10 minuta (?!?), ali to naravno nikako ne umanjuje njihov kvalitet. Iako je taj snimak kasnije trebao da se pojavi kao singl za "Start Today records" on nikada nije zvanicno objavljen. Ipak demo snimak se prenosio "od ruke do ruke" i gde god da smo svirali, ljudi su znali nase stvari i dobro nas prihvatali. Ovaj demo je i danas interesantan, iako su se te stvari nasle i na nasem prvom zvanicnom albumu. Produkcija je bila sirova (citaj surova), a stil autentican hard core sa kraja osamdesetih. Kada je 1991. godine poceo rat, jedno vreme nismo radili iz razumljivih razloga. U tom periodu stil SMF nije bas bio primeren situaciji, a pogotovu ne prizemni humor na temu Srpskog mentaliteta. Zato smo mi polako, ali sigurno radili na novim pesmama vezanim za novonastale dogadjaje i cekali bolja vremena. Posto ona nisu dolazila, a svi smo se vec navikli na novonastalu situaciju, krecemo da kompletiramo materijal za nas prvi album. Pocetkom avgusta 1994. za neverovatnih 30-ak sati, snimili smo album "Dalje neces moci..." u studiu Fokus. Materijal je objavila izdavacka kuca ITV Melomarket (kasniji naziv ITMM). Na albumu se naslo 26 pesama. Doduse, imali smo mi jos materijala, ali nismo hteli da preterujemo. Pesme su bile uglavnom zezatorske, mada se i neke ozbiljnije od njih mogu metaforicno shvatiti. Na tom albumu smo definitivno zacrtali stil od koga kasnije nismo odstupali. U to vreme smo bili fascinirani provalama iz nasih najboljih filmova "Ko to tamo peva" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076276/) i "Maratonci trce pocasni krug" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084302/), sto se i primecuje na albumu kroz pesme "Dalje neces moci", "Djenka", "Opljackani smo" i "Vozi Misko". Mozemo da se pohvalimo da smo mi prvi koristili semplove iz ovih filmova, sto su kasnije prihvatili jos neki bendovi, radio stanice, pa cak i TV emisije. SMF se ovim putem i zvanicno zahvaljuje reziseru ovih izuzetnih filmova, gospodinu Slobodanu Sijanu. Mi smo oduvek smatrali da su to najbolja ostvarenja nase kinematografije, a nedavno je stiglo i zvanicno priznanje za vrednost kultnog filma "Ko to tamo peva", koji je proglasen najboljiom filmom u prvih 100 godina srpske kinematografije. Od mnogih obrada koje smo svirali u to vreme, na albumu se nasla samo karikirana "I Saw Your Mommy..." od SUICIDAL TENDENCIES. U to vreme smo iz zezanja na koncertima svirali i obrade sledecih grupa: YELLO - "Race", M.O.D. - "Bubble Butt", BEASTIE BOYS - "No Sleep Till Brooklyn", 2 UNLIMITED - "No Limits", G.B.H. - "Big Women", PEKINSKA PATKA - "Biti ruzan, pametan i mlad". Jednom prilikom smo u KST-u odsvirali i neki hit od Cece (na opste zaprepascenje, ali i odusevljenje). Sola je 1994. godine prestao da svira sa nama i otisao je u Svarog. Na njegovo mesto dosao je Boris koji je tada svirao u Brainstorm-u.  Tada je postava SMF izgledala ovako: Sale - vokal Dare - gitara Francuz - bas Boris - bubnjevi U ovoj postavi radimo i danas. Godine 1995. nas prijatelj Dejan Zecevic, filmski reziser, koristio je nasu muziku za svoj film "Decak iz Junkovca" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0254254/). Mozete pogledati inster is filma na YouTube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ytW4AeeaHhk). Veoma nam je drago zbog toga, jer nam se sam film zaista puno dopao, a sem toga i zato sto je posvecen jednoj neverovatnoj osobi, reziseru, glumcu, producentu, piscu i naucniku - Radomiru Belacevicu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radomir_Belacevic). Novi materijal poceli smo da spremamo sredinom 1996. godine. Radili smo dosta naporno i napravili 17 pesama. Naravno, sve vreme smo se trudili da prilikom pravljenja tih pesama ne odstupimo od naseg stila , stila SMF. Pocetkom 1998. godine u studiu Akademija snimili smo drugi album pod nazivom "Lako cemo". Posto za sve ovo vreme nismo zaradili skoro nista, a i slabo su nas pustali na radio i TV stanicama, resili smo da ostanemo verni sami sebi i onima koji nas vole. Nismo se "prodali", muzika je ostala zestoka i agresivna, produkcija samog albuma je daleko bolja nego na prvom albumu, a tekstovi su i dalje provokativni, direktni, sa ponekim skrivenim znacenjem. CD izdanje albuma "Lako cemo" predstavlja prvi zvanicno objavljeni multimedijalni disk nekog domaceg benda: ako ubacite ovaj disk u CD drajv svog kompjutera moci cete da pogledate jednu krataku video pricu vezanu za sam album. SMF je bend koji postoji da bi svirao na koncertima. Na zivim svirkama nase stvari zvuce jos energicnije, publika je uvek dobro raspolozena, i stvara se posebna atmosfera kakva se moze sresti samo na hardcore koncertima. Nazalost, celokupna situacija u Srbiji nas je sputavala za sve vreme naseg postojanja, tako da iako smo svirali relativno cesto, to ipak nije onoliko koliko smo zeleli. Godine 2000 smo dobili prve ideje za neke nove pesme, koje ce se naci na nasem trecem albumu. Posle neverovatnih 6 godina rada, 14 novih pesama je masterovano u oktobru 2006, cime je studijski rad na materijalu priveden kraju. Nas dobro poznati stil je ovog puta malo izasao izvan granica standardnog hardcore-a. Iako je osnova i dalje sacinjena od mesavine hardcore punk-a i thrash metal-a, sada se mogu cuti prizvuci i nekih drugih muzickih pravaca: funk, fusion, industrial, breakbeat, drum‘n’bass, pa cak i po neki zvuk tipican za cisto elektronsku muziku, techno i psy trance.Konacno, nas treci album je izdat 1. novembra 2007. godine za PGP-RTS.

DEO INTERVJUA DATOG ZA "BEHIND THE VEIL" E_ZINE, 24-og MAJA 2005. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): FIRST OF ALL, YOU ARE AN OLD BAND EXISTING 15 YEARS MORE OR LESS. SO PLEASE POINT OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENTS OF THE BAND’S HISTORY TILL NOW AND INTRODUCE THE LINE UP TO THE READERS... DARE (SMF): Yes, the band was formed back in February of 1989, so if my math skills serve me well, that’s slightly over 16 years! Damn, we’re getting old, hehehe! It’s amazing how long the band exists. We are good buddies, still the same crazy fanatics as we were at the beginning, kicking just for fun, our friends and fans. The most important moment in the band’s history would be the gathering, that’s for sure. There were four of us, each one playing in a different band, but we decided to form a new band as a joke for the upcoming festival. All the famous Serbian punk and heavy metal bands were coming there to play and we had in mind to make some kind of parody, to let other “serious” bands look funny, because of their fake dignity. We decided to play grind core, which was quite new back then and very few bands were into that style world wide, but there was absolutely nothing similar in Serbia. Themes for the lyrics were extremely bizarre and sarcastic at the same time. Part of the plan was to wear weird clothes and shock the audience that way too. Anyway, the strangest decision was changing of instruments at the gig - no one should play his main instrument! The bass player became a drummer, a guitarist took the bass and so on. The result of this weird project was unbelievable! We were kicking so good that we got the best reaction of all. People wanted more and we had to go on further with the new band and have more fun. Each one of us gave up on playing in previous bands, got back to his main instrument and band was formed. This time for real. Another interesting thing is that our line up didn’t changed since the beginning: Sale (vocal), Francuz (bass), Dare (guitar) and Boris (drums). We had only one change somewhere in 1996 if I can recall. Our first drummer Sola left playing and dedicated his life to religion. Boris replaced Sola, got adapted in our style very quickly, since he was an old friend who understand our style very well. List of buddies and close supporters is pretty long. Numerous musicians from other bands were playing in SMF. Some were joining us at the recording studios to leave their mark on tracks, some were guests at the gigs, usually to have fun with us or to replace a missing member of the band. However, only four of us are the band itself. 2. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): WHAT DO THE LETTERS SMF STAND FOR? DARE (SMF): Don’t know if I should reveal the mystery, hehehe… 3. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR MUSIC!! ALTHOUGH I ONLY HAD THE CHANCE TO LISTEN TO ONE SONG OF YOURS, I REALIZED THAT YOU ARE A GREAT BAND FULL OF POTENTIAL. I’D SAY THAT YOU ARE A CROSSOVER, HARDCORE BAND WITH CATCHY RIFFS AND A PUNKISH ATTITUDE. DO YOU AGREE WITH ME? DARE (SMF): Thanks, I’m glad you like the song and get the riffs as catchy. Actually I always had intention on composing riffs the way they sound recognizable, like you’ve heard them already somewhere, but also as unique as possible. We all know that the scale has only 12 semitones and 99% of modern music is in 4/4 tact. We could say these are constrains, but bringing something interesting is a must for every music composer. He has to find a way how. It’s a hard task today when we are swamped in the sea of mass production, but every music need to have at least a small reason for the existence. I am always trying to compose riffs which are telling some story, whatever it may be. The riff must have some kind of harmony, even it is dissonant or choppy. Also prefer to keep them simple, minimal…. the less is better, that’s how I like them. Sometimes, these simple riffs come up very interesting through the constant repeating, like themes in psychedelic trans. I think we have interesting riffs and so is our music in general, but it’s also quite ok if people don’t like it, I would understand that too. Yeah I would agree with you about the style we’re playing, it surely could fall into crossover gender. Particularly the song you’ve heard. However, we also like to experiment in that manner, so there are elements of many different styles involved in our music as well. For example, the latest influences we got from industrial, break beat and jazz, but all those are only influences. Some elements could be heard in the newest material we are working on right now. Of course, in very small doses and built into aggressive form we are playing. After all, it’s obvious that the energy is at the first place for us, pure and powerful. 4. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): RECENTLY YOU HAVE PARTICIPATED IN A COMPILATION CD BY STEVIE HAYES LABEL CALLED “UNCONSTITUTIONALISM IN THE USA”. TELL US A FEW THINGS ABOUT IT. DARE (SMF): We are grateful to Stevie for putting us on this compilation. It’s a nice reward for us, to know that there are people outside the Belgrade and Serbia, who are also enjoying our music and seeing it valuable. We never had any bigger ambitions to promote our music, but who knows, maybe this compilation will change our attitude, hehehe. 5. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): WITH WHICH CRITERIA HAVE YOU CHOSEN THIS SONG TO REPRESENT YOU IN THIS COMPILATION? DARE (SMF): We don’t have a “typical promo song” or something like that. “Nacin Zivota” was quite appropriate to represent us, but I think we choose it mainly because of the lyrics. A good friend of ours wrote this beautiful rebel poem. It carries the strong message, just like the one mentioned above, but it’s pointed in a completely opposite direction. 6. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): FILL US IN ON THE BAND RELEASES AND POINT OUT THE MAIN DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES AMONG THEM. ARE YOU SATISFIED BY YOUR WORK TILL NOW? DARE (SMF): Only two albums were released during all these years. We could blame the situation in Serbia in 90’s and that’s an easy one. On the other side, big state-owned music productions were closed at that time, a good independent ones didn’t existed, so it’s good that we had released anything at all. The first album was released in 1995 after the first impact of war, sanctions and general crisis in society. The complete situation in the country reflected on this album on a special way - we treated all the themes a funny way! We financed the studio on our own, recorded 26 songs and got 55 minutes of material. The second album “Lako cemo” was released in 1998. The free translation could be “take it easy, it’s going to be ok”. Indeed things looked a little bit brighter at that period of time, never had a thought that we are going to be bombed soon. We had more serious approach in making music and lyrics for this one; paid more attention on each guitar riff, bass line and drum beat. In general we slightly slowed down the tempo and switched into heavier sounding. Basically it’s the same style as the first one, just it has evolved a little bit, that’s all. I am still proud of all our music. Maybe the final production could be better and mastering wasn’t highly professional, but it was the best we could obtain. The situation was really hard, so from that point of view the final product is quite satisfying. 7. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): RIGHT NOW YOU ARE RECORDING AND PREPARING YOUR NEW THIRD ALBUM. SO, GIVE US SOME INFO ON IT. WHAT’S IT MUSICAL DIRECTION? WHERE IS IT BEING RECORDED, ETC? DARE (SMF): I like changes and always had respect for bands that are trying themselves in new things. Those who are playing the same for 20 or more years are much less interesting to me. It doesn’t matter if I like the music or not, I just respect the innovations. Further, I don’t care much for the tradition, those bands who stick to it are usually getting boring after a while. Hope you won’t get me wrong, I don’t like being trendy, not at all, but innovative - yes. So we have changed too. The third album will be a completely new chapter in evolution of our music. However, the style is still recognizable and we won’t drift too far away. Just the form is more modern. I am listening lots of different kinds of music and all that had some influence for sure. We found interesting to break beats in a many different ways and to involve syncope in the rhythms. Of course, simple kicks are still there, as the most powerful ones. Some hard jazzy harmonies also found their places. Dark ambient passages are concatenated to “in your face” brutal themes, making it all quite unique. Generally speaking the sound evolved slightly into machine-like synthetic sounding and minimalistic approach has been accentuated. The thing I am very proud of is that each song is like an independent “world”, built of it’s own original elements and having it’s own atmosphere. It was the case before, but now more then ever. Shortly, regardless of your taste, there is one thing you can’t say – SMF is boring. 8. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): WHAT ABOUT THE LYRICAL CONTENT OF YOUR SONGS? TELL US A FEW THINGS ABOUT THEM. WHICH ARE YOUR SOURCES OF INSPIRATION? DARE (SMF): Now that’s something really weird. Can you guess why we are the Sick MF, hehehe. We had plenty of inspiration for our sick lyrics, especially during the time of crisis in Serbia. Finally, I can’t say we stayed normal after all, maybe our minds got really sick forever. Can you imagine our singer writing down some rhymes in a drank state or while he was “flying high” with buddies on the streets of Belgrade? The ideas were priceless, although we had a hard time fixing rhymes to get the form and to fit the music. Furthermore, some of the most unusual creeps of mankind and the most bizarre happenings were our inspiration too. We had them all here. Also, we had some of our sources in Serbian mentality. Finally, we are treating social and political themes too. I can recall, we had a couple of love songs, but since we are SMF, it’s all about cheap hoes and cute young junkies. Not much romantic, rather pure reality. 9. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): FROM THE FEW WORDS I KNOW AND UNDERSTAND “NACIN ZIVOTA” MEANS “IT’S MY LIFE”. AND MORE OR LESS THE LYRICS SAY THAT NO ONE SHOULD TELL US HOW TO LIVE OUR LIVES, ETC. RIGHT? WHEN WAS THIS SONG WRITTEN? WAS IT WRITTEN DURING THE WAR? DARE (SMF): Hey you know Serbian very well, hehehe. Yes, you got it right, but have to disappoint you about the second part of your guessing. The lyrics were written long ago, before the wars, even before the band was formed, in the middle of 80’s. As I said before, a good old friend of ours wrote it and it’s a great rebel song. Could be a hymn of each and every single young guy, starting typical social life and entering into the machinery named modern civilization. I like the message pointed out and simple anarchistic philosophy it carries. Unlike some other songs, this one has absolutely nothing funny in it. 10. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): BY THE WAY, DON’T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR LYRICS AND FROM SERBIAN START SINGING IN ENGLISH? I MEAN YOU HAVE A REALLY STRONG MUSIC AND ENGLISH WOULD HELP YOU BROADEN AND EXPAND YOUR FAN BASE. DO YOU PERHAPS ONLY AIM IN FANS FROM YOUR AREA? DARE (SMF): You’re right, it would be wise, no doubt. First we had no intentions to become a big band. It was spontaneous, really. Beside we were playing locally, only for fun. The situation has changed long ago, people from different countries have heard our music and we will have to think of them too. Still there would be a big problem for someone to understand what we are talking about in most of our songs. He would have to live in Serbia to get the point correctly. I have asked people from different countries how the Serbian language sounds to them. Of course I’m thinking of the modification we guys from Belgrade are speaking. The answer was like unusual, strange, unmelodic, flat in accents, hard, rough. So keeping all that in mind, the language is kinda compatible with our music. After all, it could be an excellent excuse for being lazy to make a really good translation on English, hehehe. 11. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): LET’S SUPPOSE THAT YOU WERE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO REVIEW AND PRESENT YOUR MUSIC TO THE METALLERS. WHAT WOULD YOU TELL THEM, TRYING TO BE AS OBJECTIVE AS POSSIBLE? DARE (SMF): Don’t know really. How about encouraging them to listen to it and letting them judge by themselves? Honestly it is only a music we are talking about. Simply has to be listened. If you like it - great, that’s all that matters. If not, well then go further and find the one you like. The music is art and everyone is getting it subjectively. For example I never paid any attention on written critics about some band or album, because it’s only one man’s point of view. Maybe I like exactly the thing he don’t, so it's just the individual taste that counts. 12. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): WHAT’S THE BEST AND WHAT’S THE WORST PART IN YOUR MUSIC, ACCORDING TO YOU? IN WHICH FIELD DO YOU THINK YOU NEED FURTHER IMPROVEMENT? DARE (SMF): There is no such thing as perfection, so everything can be improved. Completely another thing is what you are going to get with improvements. For example, I was working a lot on solos during the 80’s and finally became very good in all those fancy guitar licks that “big guys” were utilizing. I got near the top of my capabilities and finally figured out that I don’t need these skills at all. Then I throw away all the tablatures and decided to give up on playing solos, since I don’t have frustrations of being the fastest guitarist or anything similar. I saw how useless these things are, especially in music we intended to create. Ok, it’s important to learn your instrument to the appropriate level, get some technique so you could express yourself. Beyond that level it’s all useless, unless you have the aim to impress the listeners rather then to enjoy playing and having fun with the band. Don’t get me wrong I am still fascinated about great musicians, but would never spend any more time on improving my techniques. Just want to have fun with the band. The same goes for other guys. We are not perfect musicians, but we don’t need to be either. The best thing we could do to make us better players is to avoid excessive drinking before the gig, hehehe. Oh there is more , you won’t believe this one. Our singer Sale once stopped singing at the middle of concert, yelled into mic that he has to pee and went to backstage to find a relief of all those bears he drank earlier, hehehe. We had to play hardcore instrumentals until he got back. Anyway, we were lucky he didn’t pissed right there on the stage, which could be possible too. As you see, there are things we could improve, like our attitude, hehehe. 13. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS FOR LIVE SHOWS? WHAT SHOULD THE METALHEADS EXPECT TO SEE? DARE (SMF): We don’t have any plans, not for live shows, not even for our lives in general, but guess that’s exactly what we are alike. Anyway, if we get a call and decent offer for playing in some club or at a festival, we always accept it. A few packs of beer are usually enough to get up our asses. Metalheads, skinheads, mohicanheads … whatever heads there are in audience, it’s all the same to us, we love them all. We are a small band and always had a very close relation with our audience. First of all, they get the energy, no doubt about it. We are delivering lots of energy even there are no walls of amplifiers behind us. We have a honest, down to earth approach. No fancy visual effects, since we like to keep it simple. Tight sound, brutal riffs, aggressive playing. We were made for live shows at the first place, so hope it explains everything. 14. CHRISTINE (Behind The Veil): IF YOUR MUSIC WERE AN EMOTION, WHAT WOULD IT BE? IF IT WERE A PAINTING, WHAT WOULD IT SHOW? DARE (SMF): Our music is made of adrenalin and it sounds like that. We could say it has muscles too. When I take a look at the audience there are guys only. Almost like on the football matches (soccer for US friends). There are girls too, but they are usually coming because their boyfriends brought them or because they would like to meet a hardcore type of guys. I think very few girls listen to our music. So I can’t translate our music into any particular emotion, but it raises the adrenalin. A vivid energy is something obvious and very characteristic. The similar goes for the painting issue. Our music in general can’t have any kind of adequate visual representation. It’s mainly because each song is telling it’s own story, having more or less unique sounding atmosphere. Can’t merge them all to one painting. Btw, it would be a way too trivial to paint a lightning to represent the energy of our music. It’s much, much more complex. Now, a particular song could build an imaginary visual representation in the listener’s brain. Something like images created in head while reading a book. But it’s better leaving it to the reader’s imagination to handle these virtual illustrations, thus listeners in our case.

MILAN B. POPOVIC - RECENZIJA 3. ALBUMA OBJAVLJENA U NOVINAMA ZA KULTURU "BESTSELER" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nakon dva ujednaceno efektna izdanja, debija Dalje neceš moci, iz sad vec daleke 1995., i njegovog naslednika, tri godine kasnije objavljenog albuma Lako cemo, za našeg najveceg izdavaca i pod istom etiketom izlazi dugo išcekivano CD izdanje Ma kome majku, koje, u svih svojih cetrnaest kompozicija nudi pregršt raspršujuce pretecih energetskih projektila, koji opet, imaju njihovu prepoznatljivu humoristicku izražajnu liricku crtu, spesificno osobenu za rad i karijeru sastava Smf. Bilo da se radi o zvucnim detonacijama koje se kriju iza (gotovo i doslovce svih) numera Bolje nego pre?, zatim Ajde, Seljacina i Narkoman ili pak u onim drugim ali verodostojno nepraštajucim - po vaše culo sluha, naravno ali ne i raspoloženje - Speedbal, Otišlo sve i još sijaset drugih... Sale (vokal), Francuz (bas i vokal), Dare (gitara i vokal) i Boris (bubnjevi) su nanovo svojim istinskim obožavaocima (kojih ce ovim ostvarenjem, verujem, biti još više) a u okvirima totalne underground kulturne opcije, dakle izrazito vernim i strpljivim, priredili još više razloga za radovanje i zadovoljstvo. Još jedanput se muzicki oslanjajuci na americki novi gabaritno teški gitarski riff bedem, transponovajuci ga kroz prizmu groteksnih visoko pozicioniranijuih tekstualnih ipsacija, oni, Smf, neumetno ukazuju da im, kao takvim a gotovo jedinim i jedinstvenim na sceni, izgleda, nema premca. Niti konkurencije.

SMF na EXIT-u 2007, Explosive Stage, Petrovaradinska tvrdava, Novi Sad, 13.07.2007. Live Report by David Vartabedijan Pomalo sam se odvikao od vodenja bendova na koncerte. Ali, pos'o je pos'o, a ja SMF ionako volim, te mi zadatak uopste nije tesko pao, pogotovo sto je Dare (gitara) sigurno vozio svoju masinu tokom celog puta. Termin za nastup SMF-a je bio, pa onako kako da kazem kriminalan. U 03:25h izjutra. Kada smo pristigli na poljanju na kojoj se nalazi Explosive Stage, primetih svega stotinak rastrkanih ljudi i nikoga na bini. Hitman su vec odradili svoj set, cekali su se Blitzkrieg. U backstage-u, bagra je vec popila sav alkohol (dobro pivo). Katastrofa. Suoceni sa tim problemom, iskusni Sale (vokal), poucen nekim prethodnim iskustvima je pronasao neciji stek sa pomenutom tekucinom, te nas je lepo zbrinuo sa T...rzima (niko nije platio reklamu). Nakon vrzmanja okolo, u dogovoreno vreme vratih se na Explo- sive poljanu. Fadelow ili tako nekako su bili pri kraju svog seta. Doslo je vreme i za SMF, a vec pomenuto poljance je kao po komandi bilo prepunjeno. Po mojoj proceni nekih 4.000 ljudi. Eh, da, SMF odavno nisu svirali. Uzelela ih se raja, gaja i vlaja. Tako i treba. Kole (Rapid Force) se pobrinuo za zvuk. Hvala mu i ovim putem. Koncert su zapoceli pesmom koja je i zgodna za otvaranje istog: "Zurka". To je ujedno i posluzilo kao lajt-motiv njihovog polusatnog nastupa. Sale je sve vreme nesto gundao izmedu pesama, novi (stari) bubnjar Mengele ili Alek (Eyesburn) se sasvim dobro uklopio u ovaj zajbantski kvartet. Cvrstine u ovom hard-core zajebavanju nije nedostajalo. Skokovima (kojima je ocigledno zeleo da skine po koje kilo), sve zajedno sa basom Francuz, je bio na visini zadatka i samo je doprinosio opstem veselju koje je vladalo u publici. Dare je svojom gitarom i nacinom sviranja kontrolisao sva desavanja i dodavao gas kada je trebalo. "Ajmo" je bila jedna od dve nove, a onda je usledio splet opstepoznatih narodnih igara i posalica u SMF maniru. Redale su se: "Burek", "Vodka", pa ona o bandi pokvarenoj (nije li to autogrupaska, mislim autobiografska?) i svasta nesto (i sami znate koliko im pesme traju), da bi pred kraj nastupa predstavili drugi novitet "Kinezi u Japan", ocigledno buduci hit. Publika je sve vreme pevala, a zadatak je maksimalno izvrsila u dve poslednje "Doktore pomagaj" i "Cvikam zicu". Koji su to hitevi, bre!!! SMF su se predstavili po ko zna koji put, kao skoro pa odlicno uigrana i na bini razigrana ekipa, koja zna sta hoce i koja zna da zabavi publiku. A publika je to evidentno videla i poziv na bis uz gromoglasno skandiranje nije izostao, ali suoceni sa festivalskim pravilima, SMF se na zalost nisu odazvali na poziv. Nema veze, novi album pod radnim naslovom (konacno sam zavrsio dizajn omota) "Ma, kome majku?" bi trebalo da se uskoro pojavi. Onda ce (nadam se) uslediti i jaca koncertna delatnos'. Ma SMF, bre! P.S. posle SMF-a nastupili su Kaoz (Slovenija). Opasni su bili, meni je to malo onako vrlo dobro Kreatorisanje. Jedino sto je bilo odvratno je pocetak izlaska sunca ili rudenje zore... joj, naocare na nos pa paljba u BGD.
