"A piece of advice, skip The Smith Westerns. They produce a lot of noise and very little music. In other realms this could be it’s own artistic expression, but The Smith Westerns do it badly, and (or so it appears) on purpose. Joke bands are fun and all, but in this case, even at a free show, it’s just not worth it." -"http://gapersblock.com/transmission/archives/2007/12/"

It’s that one local band that can’t figure out how to write a song without using some phrase that was hilariously clever when you were nine years old. (Underwear jokes? Hell yeah!) Of course, I can only really guess what they’re singing about. All I have to judge off is song titles. Now, I’m no genius, but my guess is that “Sticky Panties” isn’t a metaphor for the never-ending class war that plagues our world. One positive thing: hand drawn cover. Thumbs up for that! –Bryan Static (Self-released)

Yo cuties: Peter and the wolf is going to be in Chicago on January 30th and they're looking for an local opener. Red Hunter's sort of rude but you should message him. http://www.myspace.com/whiskeyandapples
