My stepmom turned me on to 'The Smithereens' a while back and I finally got around to buying a couple albums today. For some reason before I actually heard them I thought they were some sort of a New Wave or punk rock band or something. One morning I was visiting my dad and stepmom and she had them playing on the stereo. I can't remember the particular song but I mentioned to her how it kind of reminded me of the 'Gin Blossoms'. Well, anyhow, I was kinda surprised when she told me it was 'The Smithereens'.
So today I bought the albums "11'' and "Green Thoughts". So far I really like everything. They have a bit of a dated sound, but I'm glad to find something from the late 80's that I can actually listen to, lol
. The more I listen the more they sound like R.E.M. to me. That kinda makes sense.
My favorite track so far is 'Baby Be Good' off of "11".
