Smash Mouth is an American alternative rock band formed in 1994 in San Jose, California. The original lineup included lead vocalist Steve Harwell, guitarist Greg Camp, bassist Paul De Lisle, and drummer Kevin Coleman. Known for their eclectic style blending elements of rock, ska, and pop, the band gained major success with hits like “Walkin’ on the Sun” (1997) and “All Star” (1999), the latter becoming a cultural staple after featuring in the film Shrek.

Their debut album, Fush Yu Mang (1997), showcased a “neo-ska” sound and reached #19 on the Billboard charts. Their second album, Astro Lounge (1999), was their most commercially successful, peaking at #6 and including the iconic “All Star.” Subsequent albums explored more experimental sounds but did not match the commercial impact of their earlier work.

Steve Harwell was the band’s frontman until his retirement in 2021 and passed away in 2023. The current lineup includes founding bassist Paul De Lisle, keyboardist Michael Klooster, drummer Randy Cooke, guitarist Sean Hurwitz, and lead singer Zach Goode. Smash Mouth remains active, known for their energetic performances and enduring hits that have left a lasting mark on late 1990s and early 2000s rock and pop culture
