About Me


At Click-Clack she shone like dayglo, said "This is the worst orgy I’ve ever been to…"

Lemonsmile are four boys united by happy happenstance and abject carelessness. They started gigging in around 'ought six. Then, in 'ought seven they won the state final of the Pushover Battle of the Bands, which was good. After that they just sort of gigged for a while, and tried to expand their understanding of musical notes and the order in which they should be arranged.
Then, in 'ought eight they recorded an EP called 'Shot, Reverse Shot' with Craig Pilkington (Lucksmiths, Weddings Parties Anything) and Craig Harnath (Franz Ferdinand, Oasis). After all the music stuff was recorded, they had it mastered by Jack the Bear (The Drones, Nick Cave) and hope to release it in December or so. Comedown is gonna be the first song on this EP.
Lemonsmile don't feel tied towards any specific scene or philosophy, but wish to soar free like mighty eagle.
