Known for catchy 1960s-influenced power pop that inspired countless alternative rockers including Kurt Cobain, The Smithereens www.officialsmithereens.com gained popularity with the album titled, “11 “ which spawned college campus favorites: “A Girl Like You”, “Blood and Roses” and “Blue Period”. In April they released “2011” — their first album of new material in 12 years. Produced by Don Dixon (who helmed “Especially For You,” the group’s breakout debut), the album features 13 new tracks and finds the seminal New Jersey rockers picking up right where they left off: with Pat DiNizio’s instantly recognizable voice, their irresistible hooks and rapturously fuzzed-out guitars. Eschewing extensive pre-production, the band cut this raw and electric album in the best tradition of Cheap Trick or Big Star and it just begs you to roll down the windows and crank up the volume!
