| | Metroactive Music | Smash Mouth |
 | | Smash Mouth's members are like a spiffed-up, grown-up, mirror image of the audience, four well-coifed guys in perfectly pressed thrift store T-shirts and baggy shorts who look like they stepped right off the street--as, in a way, they did. |
 | | Smash Mouth didn't have to play this game at BFD, because Steve Harwell did a one-on-one instead, leading a LIVE 105 DJ on a guided tour of their private trailer, wittily pointing out such sights as the deli tray, the beer cooler and the bathroom. |
 | | Indeed, Smash Mouth's success has been greatly tied up with the corporate consolidation of stations and the tightening up of formats like the one at Los Angeles radio station KROQ which has, for the past eight years, been used to determine what hits will be heard by the kids of America. |
