   About Smilex
Smilex earnt their reputation as an exciting, daring rock ’n’ roll band, the hard way: through relentless, energetic, sheer punk rock live shows which have seen them tearing up stages supporting the likes of The Towers of London, The Damned and The 80’s Matchbox B-Line Disaster. With three releases on Quickfix Recordings (who brought you Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies’ debut & have had a hand in most Oxford bands’ ascents in the last five years) and split single with past tour-mates The Young Knives earning them keen support from Xfm, Drowned in Sound, Forward Russia & MC Lars (with whom they recently recorded a collaboration ‘Dead Horses’). Now Smilex unleash their debut, concept album ‘7’ on an unsuspecting world, produced by Ace (guitar hero for Skunk Anansie and producer for King Prawn, Fletcher, Multi Purpose Chemical and many more!) who couldn’t resist laying down a storming guest solo himself! The band has never sounded so focussed, yet retain the explosive wild-side that has them turning heads on the toilet circuit.
