Savage Young Smithereens

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