Album Notes & Community Reviews

Responding to the heavy grunge movement of the mid-90s, the New Jersey power pop veterans adopted a slightly grittier and darker tone for their fifth album. 'A Date With The Smithereens' balances their signature Beatles-esque vocal harmonies with significantly heavier guitar distortion.
