The follow-up to 2002's Living Targets, Smack Smash is the breakthrough fourth studio album from German punk rock outfit Beatsteaks. Produced by Moses Schneider, the 2004 release, which clocks in at just under 32 minutes, includes the singles "I Do Not Care as Long as You Sing," "Hand in Hand," "Loyal to None," and a tribute to the Clash's Joe Strummer, "Hello Joe."
