Savage Young Smithereens
Audio CD
HAVING RETURNED TO THEIR ROOTS WITH TWO DAZZLING ALBUMS OF BEATLES COVERS AND A CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED INTERPRETATION OF THE WHO S TOMMY, THIS LEGENDARY BAND NOW COMES ROARING BACK WITH A BAKER S-DOZEN CRUNCHY, TASTY, AND HIGHLY MELODIC TUNES. AS MUCH AS THE SMITHEREENS HAVE ALWAYS WORN THEIR INSPIRATIONS PROUDLY, SO HAS THEIR MUSIC INFLUENCED TWO GENERATIONS OF ROCK BANDS WHO STILL PRIZE GREAT HOOKS, HIGHIMPACT GUITARS, AND EMOTIVE VOCALS. THEY SIT COMFORTABLY AND AUTHORITATIVELY IN A LINE THAT STRETCHES FROM BUDDY HOLLY AND THE BEATLES, THROUGH THE CLASH AND ELVIS COSTELLO, CHEAP TRICK AND NICK LOWE, EVEN UP TO NIRVANA S NEVERMIND AND BEYOND---TO PRESENT DAY UPSTARTS LIKE TAME IMPALA AND ARIEL PINK S HAUNTED GRAFFITI. WITH TOUR DATES BEING ACCUMULATED FOR ALL OF 2011, THE SMITHEREENS MAY BE SAID TO BE TRULY BACK IN ACTION. ONE LISTEN TO 2011 WILL DRIVE THE POINT HOME IN A BIG WAY. This is an ALL-NEW ALBUM OF ALL-NEW, ORIGINAL SONGS!
