Photos (for Impose): Smith Westerns, Ducktails, and Bass Drum Of Death at Glasslands
Those Smith Westerns kids are good. They’re good at guitar, they’ve got that rock and roll sound, they’re total teen heartthrobs, and they’re just a little bit obnoxious. They’re all the things we always knew they were, and now they’re going to get huge. I wasn’t sure if the band was going to really get [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Smith Westerns, Ducktails, and The Sundelles at Glasslands
Smith Westerns received Best New Music on Pitchfork today, and with this sold-out show tonight at Glasslands, it feels like they’ve finally arrived as a permanent part of today’s national music landscape. It’s about time. The first time I posted about them was in October of 2009, and they’d even been around awhile by that [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: DOM, The Smith Westerns, Total Slacker, YellowFever, and Sweet Bulbs at Station 171

Great New Band: Smith Westerns
(photo by Rev Avissar for Pitchfork) I was well-aware of the Smith Westerns before CMJ and had posted at least one mp3 for you guys before. Pretty much everyone has blogged about them by now. I enjoyed their performance at Pianos at CMJ so much that I’ve spent all day revisiting their self-titled album. It’s [...]
