About Me
The Smears debut release can be purchased here: ..The Smears brand of raw, loud 'n' abrasive all-girl punk rock action has been kicking up a virtual shit storm throughout the Midlands of England for a couple of years. First off, let's get one thing straight, we ain't talking no Riot Grrl angst or fabricated Ramones-gang dream a la the Donnas here. The Smears play it straight, hard and to the point in their own tenacious style. Based in Nottingham, their no apology attitude, girl-gang swagger and super sharp, sucker punch menace has earned them a reputation as one of the cities finest live acts. Drawing influence from the blues, punk AND rock and mixing it up into a melee of prime time Seattle tinged anger and hate, they've trod the boards with bands from all corners of the globe and given as good as they've got, if not more. Combining that timeless white boy (girl) blues holler on vocals with a furiously fuzzed up 'n' f**d guitar sound, thundering bass and primal punk drum pounding, the Smears will kick you in the teeth and rip your heart right outta your chest. Cynicism and comparison are rendered useless once the first chord is struck, the first skin beat. They exude a confidence that'll scare the st outta your average indie boy looking for his next guitar girl pin-up. They are the complete girl group package, thorns and all. Throw Patti Smith and the Shangri La's into a blender with the Northwest ferocity of Mudhoney and you're coming close to the kind of explosive mix that has left the so-called rock city reeling and bystanders begging for more. "Whisper it for the moment but the UK punk rock scene is currently at it's healthiest for about three decades, and there's not even a safety pin in sight or a jubilee on the horizon. Instead, the likes of Gallows, Lovvers and Nottingham all-girl trio The Smears are kicking up a whole different kind of fuss thanks to a combination of ballsy attitude, chaotic unpredictability and of course, a spittle drenched barrel of tunes." Drowned in Sound 2007 "The Smears are by far the most exciting, raw and genuinely unrestrained punk band we currently have the pleasure of dealing with, and 'Deliverance' is their fiercest track so far. I used to be able to do a lot of stuff before they came along- sleep, blink, enter dark rooms... those days are gone." James Birchall Kudos Records "The Smears are an upcoming tour de force in the Nottingham music scene. For some, being an all-girl punk group would perhaps be enough to make them stand out. With The Smears, however, add to this the fact that all three are highly attractive ladies who know how to rock and you start to understand why they regularly leave Notts crowds whooping and screaming for more." Leftlion Magazine "‘The Smears will kick you in the teeth and rip your heart right outta your chest. Throw Patti Smith and the Shangri La's into a blender with the Northwest ferocity of Mudhoney and you're coming close..." Bleached Press
