pop your heart!

About Me


The Smittens are a five-piece indiepop band from Burlington, Vermont and like to think of themselves as a DIY twee pop explosion. Dana Kaplan, Colin Clary, David Zacharis, Holly Chagnon, and Max Andrucki, with help from the talented Emily Hilliard, switch up instruments, song-writing, and singing to create brilliantly lyrical and hyper-catchy pop songs of all colors, shapes and sizes. Formed on a whim at a party in 2002 by a group of popkids who wanted to make for their friends the kind of music they love, the Smittens have emerged as one of the country’s best-loved underground indiepop quintets, with headlining slots in the past year at the New England, New York, Toledo, and Athens Popfests. The band’s hotly anticipated third album Pop Your Heart, mixed by Eric Masunaga, will be out in early 2008, on Athens, Georgia’s indie institution Happy Happy Birthday To Me. The critically acclaimed 'Gentlefication Now!' and 'A Little Revolution' are both now available through Happy Happy Birthday to Me so click here to order or you can download the album from the links below:
DownLoad 'A Little Revolution' from ITunes
DownLoad 'Gentlefication Now!' from Emusic
Also Just out! The Let It Bee Compilation from Italy's My Honey Records featuring a brand new song from The Smittens as well as The Shermans, Watoo Watoo, and lots more European and South American indie goodness!
