The Smears brand of raw, loud 'n' abrasive all-girl punk rock action has been kicking up a virtual shit storm throughout the Midlands of England since early 2001.First off, let's get one thing straight, we ain't talking no Riot Grrl angst or fabricated Ramones-gang dream a la the Donnas here. The Smears play it straight, hard and to the point in their own tenacious style. Based in Nottingham, their no apology attitude, girl-gang swagger and super sharp, sucker punch menace has earned them a reputation as one of the cities finest live acts. Drawing influence from the blues, punk AND rock and mixing it up into a melee of prime time Seattle tinged anger and hate, they've trod the boards with bands from all corners of the globe and given as good as they've got, if not more.Combining that timeless white boy (girl) blues holler on vocals with a furiously fuzzed up 'n' f****d guitar sound, thundering bass and primal punk drum pounding, the Smears will kick you in the teeth and rip your heart right outta your chest. Cynicism and comparison are rendered useless once the first chord is struck, the first skin beat.They exude a confidence that'll scare the s**t outta your average indie boy looking for his next guitar girl pin-up. They are the complete girl group package, thorns and all. Throw Patti Smith and the Shangri La's into a blender with the Northwest ferocity of Mudhoney and you're coming close to the kind of explosive mix that has left the so-called rock city reeling and bystanders begging for more.
