Smash Mouth was a band determined to make an impact from the get-go. Formed in late 1994, the band immediately began recording demos and showcasing in both San Jose and Hollywood.
In June 1997, Smash Mouth signed with Interscope Records when label brass caught wind of an unknown and unsigned band being added to monumentally influential L.A. radio station KROQ's playlist after only one spin of their song "Walkin' On the Sun."
Smash Mouth's major-label debut "Fush Yu Mang" went more than double platinum and set the table for what most consider their masterpiece -- the follow-up album "Astrolounge" in 1999. It contained three top-10 hits, "All-Star," "Then the Morning Comes," "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby," and its sales were nearly double those for "Fush Yu Mang," approaching quadruple platinum status.
But no matter what they do, Smash Mouth will always be universally acknowledged as "The Shrek Band," from the soundtrack for the "Shrek" films.
