Consumed - Wake Up With A Smile

Most famous for thier track Heavy Metal Winner having a spot on Tony Hawke's Pro Skater 2, Consumed are a punk rock band from Nottingham who formed in 1992. Following their debut EP, Breakfast at Pappa’s in 98, Consumed’s first full length Hit for Six was released in 99 on Fat Wreck Chords. I always find it strange that they signed to Fat Wreck.

The band broke up in 2003 and I never got chance to catch them live in this period but they reformed in 2015 and are currently active. They released a video for the track "What Would Cliff Burton Do?" in May 2018. Their EP "A Decade of No" was released in July 2018 through SBÄM records (Europe) and Umlaut Records (UK).

Hit For Six is my favourite release by them and I think Wake Up With A Smile was the first track I heard by them through downloading on Limewire or the like. It is therefore the track I am sharing today.
