Smoke Damaged is what the world has been needing. A sweet slow smooth sound with lyrics that grab your ear and smooth rhythms and even smoother lead guitar parts that make you really wanna just open up and listen and not just rock out in the pit. Granted all members of the band are indeed true true fans of loud guitars and mosh pits, Smoke Damaged brings the lines and melodies to the table that can soothe even the most savage of all die hard rock fans. Influences from Billy Joel and Keb Mo to the Wu Tang Clan on Russell's part to Jethro Tull, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jim Croce and even to Megadeath on Jacob's part, Smoke Damaged brings a message that is often missed in popular music. There is no Nashville or New York City major label production about this band. Stop listening for insane solos and poppy hooks and learn to get down and listen to the true core of each and every song for they all mean alot to the band and not just a catchy hook. Someone needs to turn pop radio around in the right direction and with local fan support and attention Smoke Damaged will be the ones that do it. Stop listening with your body and tryin to dance to it and listen with your heart and understand exactly what they are playing about. Smoke Damaged is music at it's truest form
