Influences
Many influences. Britpop/Indie/Mod/Rock, including Paul Weller/The Jam, Foo Fighters, Stereophonics, The Who, Charlatans, Oasis to name a few....
Passenger Smith is an eclectic mix of 5 musicians with a wide range of musical taste and experience from former musical ventures. This experience includes studio recording, playing festivals, to playing with some famous names. With influences including Paul Weller, The Who and Oasis, the material performed is all original and is created with a melodic wall of sound. This is done by fusing various levels and sounds of guitar in both an Indie and rock style. Guitar riffs to please Jimmy Page catch the listener's ear and are accompanied by thumping, driving bass lines which would make John Entwistle proud! Innovative drumming makes up the rest of the rythym section. All this is topped off by Jon's 'stadium band/Kelly Jones style', spot on vocals.
Passenger Smith is currently rehearsing some new songs and getting to grips with recording their eagerly awaited album. We've already been in the studio and recorded three songs which have been mixed by Paul and are featured on this site. This demo is also available as a free CD which you can obtain at gigs or by contacting the band through our email address below. The band is still gigging but do not intend going out every week though, so catch a set when you can. Praise received so far includes: "...they'd get the dead dancing..." "...great sound, great riffs..." "...they deserve to get signed..." "...one of the best live unsigned bands...".
In the meantime, if you like the sounds you hear, then please let us know and become our friend...like the lovely people below. You can also contact us through passengersmith@hotmail.co.uk and check out our merchandise range through our www.passengersmith.com .....
