Savage Young Smithereens

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!
