Description
Reptile Smile, born in the effervescent Stockholm music scene of 1988, was the brainchild of guitarist/songwriter Martin Karlegård and drummer Michel Maiden. Initially known as Lodger, the trio found their voice with vocalist Peter Schapiro, setting the stage for a raw, rock journey echoing the influences of Aerosmith, AC/DC and the Rolling Stones.
Renamed Reptile Smile with the inclusion of bassist Jake St. Snake and guitarist Jan Lissnils, the band soared after signing with CBS Records in 1989. Their debut single, "Shove 'em Down," and the album "Automatic Cool" catapulted them into the European spotlight, solidified by the MTV rotation of "2000 Miles." The release of "Who Makes the Rules" in 1991 further entrenched their presence, fueled by the single "Wild life."
Chapter Two, spanning 1993-1995, witnessed a revamped lineup, relentless touring, and eventual disbandment due to strain. Despite this, the allure of their music persisted, leading to sporadic reunions and a studio endeavor in 1994, yielding an unreleased third album.
Chapter Three, from 1995 to the present, encapsulates the band's intermittent reunions, culminating in a transformative decision by Martin in 2010. This prompted the re-recording of earlier tracks with Michel Maiden returning on drums, Andreas on bass, and Fredrik Björk on guitar, delivering a rejuvenated sound.
