Smart Went Crazy


Smart Went Crazy was an American rock band from Washington, D.C.

History

Formed by then high school students, Chad Clark, Abram Goodrich and Hilary Soldati, and then following graduation, having expanded to include Jeff Boswell and Tony Dennison, Smart Went Crazy released their debut, Cubbyhole EP, in 1994. This was independently released through their own label, CozyDisc. By 1995 they had developed a relationship with Dischord Records and released their first full-length album Now We're Even in 1995.
After three U.S. tours in support of, and following, Now We're Even, and with the replacement of drummer Tony Dennison with Devin Ocampo, they released their followup album, Con Art, in 1997. Shortly after the album's release, due to increasing division in the band, Smart Went Crazy disbanded in 1998.
After the breakup, several members went on to join other bands: Faraquet, The Caribbean, The Provisional and Beauty Pill.

Recognition

The second and final album Con Art was selected for Pitchfork's Best Albums of the 1990s list.
