Smile<\/a><\/strong>, a promising young post-punk band who list IDLES and Slaves among their influences, have released a new single, Culture Vulture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Joe Francis (lead vocals), Jake Robinson (drums), Erik Miles (guitar) and Rob Mckie (bass) are a four-piece formed late in 2019 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a handful of local gigs, and one or two further afield, they had big plans for 2020, but, like everyone else’s, saw them ruined by Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They shared their debut release, the single Bobby, at the end of March last year, and followed it with the four-track Smile EP (reviewed here<\/em><\/a>) in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Undeterred, they have been working on new songs in between lockdowns, and the first to see the light of day is Culture Vulture, 1:57 of anger and frustrated creativity encapsulated in one incendiary song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their delivery owes as much to hardcore as it does to post-punk groups, and it’s a thrilling couple of minutes which will sound fantastic live if we’re ever allowed to have gigs again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out Culture Vulture by searching for SmileBand on the streaming service of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe there’s more new stuff on the way soon, and I hope this exciting young band rides the corona-shitstorm and comes out the other end with a great record or CD to show for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
