In today’s world of music and easy accessibility to new music online, it is hard to find a “smash” album from bands who are breaking out on the internet. That is about to change as Australian modern rock band Smart Artists release their first full length album “Highway Blonde” in October. Love, sex, reparation, salvation, being and nothingness: these subjects entwine and influence the music of this Gold Coast based 4 piece. Fans of bands such as The Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon and The Killers have for the past 6 months been cranking Smart Artists first 2 singles from the album. Whilst 'Inside Moves' and 'Annie' have enjoyed healthy radio play on over 200 radio stations throughout 20 countries 'Highway Blonde' brings together an album full of tight, energetic songs – good time modern rock, pure and simple, with more than enough hooks to ensure repeat listens whilst driving the open road or cleaning the house to. 'Highway Blonde' is outstanding. You will enjoy every track.

"There is NOTHING like this music on American radio currently. Just like the other transcendental moments with music in the past, MY JAW DROPPED. Smart Artists are FANTASTIC, invest a few minutes and you will realize things will never be the same...."

Ken Bailey Westfield Recording Company Ironton Ohio USA www.westfieldrecording.com

The album title 'Highway Blonde' was born after one of the band was reputedly picked up at a truck stop just south of Byron Bay by none other than Paris Hilton and whisked away to a private party somewhere in the Byron Hinterland. And the bands formula for success is simple ….. avoid trends, write cool songs and deliver a brand of modern rock full of infectious chorus and crunchy guitars. Sounds simple really. Whether it's a corporate event, a music festival, or a night at the popular local venue, Smart Artists is known as the band that creates an event and delivers an awesome performance everytime.
