The Smittens are a five-piece indiepop band from Burlington , Vermont and have been called a DIY twee pop explosion. Formed in 2002, The Smittens have been winning the hearts and minds of indiepop fans and discerning critics in the U.S. and abroad with an impressive and rapidly expanding catalog of fresh and fancy bubblegum-inspired revolutionary twee pop. Accomplished songsmiths all, the five Smittens—Max Andrucki, Colin Clary, Dana Kaplan, Holly Chagnon, David Zacharis—switch up instruments and song-writing to create brilliantly lyrical and hyper-catchy pop songs of all colors, shapes and sizes. The band’s third album The Coolest Thing About Love was released in 2008, on Athens, Georgia’s indie institution Happy Happy Birthday To Me. In 2009 the band performed at popfests including New York, San Francisco, Indietracks in the UK, and and Cosy Den in Stockholm and put out a split seven inch-slash-3 inch cd with the Just Joans on London’s Wee POP! records. They’re currently writing and recording more songs for a brand new, and very untitled, record. |
