Smith and.....

Every now and then a band reaches your ears that makes you really sit up and take notice. I present to you now The Smith Street Band. This is how they describe themselves

"We are a shitty band from Melbourne who enjoy mock meat and alcohol. We play heaps of shows and tour lots because it's fun. We have two albums out on Poison City Records, "Sunshine & Technology" and "No One Gets Lost Anymore" and a 7" out on Jackknife called "South East Facing Wall". If you want us to play anywhere/time we will (do our best to). Love you". 

A couple of inaccuracies in that description. The band is anything but shitty. In fact, they are f**cking top notch. Catchy, sing-along punk rock tunes with lyrics that ring so true. And you know what? They sound (and look) like they are having FUN. Music needs more bands like this.
The other slight inaccuracy is that there is no mention of the new record "Throw me in the river". If you live in the UK, order it from Banquet Records  , play really loud and sing along.
If you're still not convinced how good The Smith Street Band is, watch this
