"Sparse, dark indie rock that begins subdued, but soon builds to choruses that break free and quite simply erupt. Don't let the soft guitars fool you: Once this beast gets going, there's no stopping it."
-Alternative Press
A four-piece band hailing from New York, Sound of a Smirk uses quiet croons, harsh yells and pungent lyrics mixed with smooth rhythm chords to display honest songwriting. Adding the quick-handed, pulsing, and pounding drum beats to the soaring and sometimes cutting leads to the filling and grooving bass, you can feel yourself sink into a sonic landscape coated in whole-hearted vocals.
They recently released their 4th full record, "Awaken, Asleep." This record's incarnation saw them have two new additions to the band that have finally cemented the sound exactly where they hoped to get from the beginning. Peter’s vocals and bass lines bring added edge to the songs. While Brian’s lead guitar tears through the songs with such ferocity it’s intoxicating.
