Press Reviews SMO : Living Instrument CD (Bread & Bone Enterntainment) : SMO (don't ask me what the name means!) are a Stateside band who rock hard. A mixture of funk, hard rock, swing and groove, SMO come across as a mixture of Incubus and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Songs likeStoryteller and Whatever a slinkin', groove-filledbeasts that are infectious to the hilt as well as bein' melodic and easy on the ear at the same time. Living Instrument is an album you can rock to and chill to. Not a bad combination. [7/10] GRAHAM FINNEYhttp://www.intoxicated.clara.net/records6.htm
