"On Little Foot Long Foot’s debut EP, Just About
Broke, the combination of Joan Smith’s deadly
vocals with Isaac Klein’s tight snare rolls results in
seven songs of passionate blues-rock...The sound
makes you feel like you’re trudging through a dusty
southern town with a guitar strapped to your back
and a revolver sitting on your hip, looking for
trouble" - National Post
"From a light Billie Holiday to a Dylan feel, Joan's
voice paired with the upbeat, but not irritatingly
so, music is nothing short of magic."
- Viruszine.com
"Joan Smith's voice will knock you on your ass if
you're not ready for it." - Midnight Poutine
Little Foot Long Foot was born out of necessity and
practicality. While the two piece band was originally
formed as a classic rock tribute act, front-woman
Joan Smith soon accepted her inability to shred rad
solos and they made the obvious choice, originals.
Settling on a gritty garage-rock sound, the band
began working on the material that would make up
their debut EP, Just About Broke.With a sound that channels Gun Club and The Gossip
equally, Just About Broke swaggers and sways with
driving beats and thick guitars. Centered around
Smith's powerful vocals, they deliver the winding
riffs of "Thank You" with as much confidence as the
longing country rock of "Declaration." Over the EP's
seven tracks, the band continues to spread this
range, showing not only a penchant for powerful
instrumental attacks, but also well written songs
that embody all the best elements of their
influences. After barelling through the East Coast
to wide acclaim in the summer of 2008, Little Foot
Long Foot are looking forward to recording a new
album, touring their home province of Ontario,
and sounding larger than their instrumentation
generally allows.
