They make music that really feels, and even better, that feels real.

More The Smith Street Band More The Smith Street Band

If you haven't worked it out already, we need The Smith Street Band, or something like it. They make the real suburban blues, yelling as the struggle gets too much, but realising they have to suck it up and soldier on. Sure, there's some of that old spirit of what Weddoes used to do – the philosophy that even if you haven't got two zacs to rub together, you can still give a shit. They make music that really feels, and even better, that feels real.
