about

PRESS

"Letting your songs evolve when most of them come in under the 2-minute mark is a talent and Smug Brothers have perfected it...In the sea of music out there it is always great to discover an honest, hard-working indie band that makes solid records without any gimmicks – that sums up the Smug Brothers!" -Chris Anthony/The Fire Note [https://thefirenote.com/2019/11/08/smug-brothers-serve-a-thirsty-moon-album-review/]

"The completed couplet—“We’re all just lucky to be alive”—is sung with such poignant good humor that you can let the whole thing make sense in that way that has nothing to do with how unintelligible the words mostly are. This is one of music’s super powers and these guys have it going." -Jeremy Scholsberg/Fingertips [http://fingertipsmusic.com/?p=20257]

"The songs all have their own delivery, which is an unconventional, off-the-wall tone that is unique to the Smug Brothers. Not every note is pitch-pure, but the music and vocals still pull together in a united fashion that is both fun and serious. " -T.M. Strubel, Rock Documentd [https://rockdocumented.com/2019/12/03/smug-brothers-release-serve-a-thirsty-moon/]

"The Dayton, OH outfit specializes in charming and infectious lo-fi pop and with each release the band's chief songwriter, Kyle Melton, seems to sharpen and further enhance his song craft while continuing to refine the Smug’s sonic palette." -Bryan Hammill/The Ash Gray Proclamation [https://theashgrayproclamation.com/2019/12/06/gamma-country-a-conversation-with-kyle-melton-of-smug-brothers/]
