Smash Mouth is an alternative rock band from San Jose, California that formed in 1994, the band comprises Steve Harwell (lead vocalist), Greg Camp (guitarist/songwriter), Paul De Lisle (bassist), and new drummer since early 2006, Jason Sutter (replacing Michael Urbano, who left due to creative differences). Their hit songs include "Walkin' on the Sun" (1997) and "All Star" (1999). Focused at times playing "neo-ska" music, the band has adopted retro styles spanning several decades of popular music, as well as performing covers of popular songs such as The Monkees' "I'm a Believer" and War's "Why Can't We Be Friends" as well as cult favorites such as ? and the Mysterians' "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" (though their version owes more to The Colourfield's interpretation; in fact, the band at first believed it was a Colourfield original). Smash Mouth's first album Fush Yu Mangcame out in June 1997. This album could be said to be "neo ska".

Met someone I knew before
The window paynes to the soul, they will never let you down
We know we've seen each other 'round
Doin' the late night downtown crawl
Deep inside I know I'm sick and tired of it all
It comes too quick and goes too fast
Does anything ever last at all
CHORUS
We're just looking for a wall to crash into
Me, I'd be happy just bumpin' into you
Here I am and there they go
And if you ask me how I know the oldest story in the world
Than I hope someday you'll know
That they'll never die if you'll never grieve
sEverybody's movin' to a place they gotta leave
So kill your T.V. and kill your phone
Be quiet and be alone with you
CHORUS
When technology solves apologies I will retire
With records and candles and pencils and cameras
And your soul in my eye is just looking for a wall to crash into
