The Planet Smashers are a third-wave ska band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Since their formation in 1994, they have been a staple of the Montreal scene. During the third-wave of ska, they quickly rose to national, and eventual international fame, with tours in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Founding member, Matt Collyer, helped establish Stomp Records in 1994, which hosted many bands, including Montreal's The Kingpins, The Flatliners, The Know How, and Bedouin Soundclash.

Their music has been used in the Japanese flash series Catman as well as MTV 's Undergrads (shown on Teletoon in Canada ).
