Press Reviews
Smith Bros..........
Title: Lost......|.......Label: Independent...............
Smith Bros., comprised of Mike Clark (vocals, bass), Pat Dollenmayer (guitar, vocals) and Matt Gramly (drums), is a high energy, beatleesque pop band out of Westerville, Ohio, Their debut release, Lost, is a unique blend of eclectic elements characteristic of 60s and 70s pop, ingeniously merged with their own distinctive vocals, electric and bass guitar riffs. Their distinct sound is ambitious and edgy. Vocally, Mike and Pat sing with spontaneous intensity and conviction that will captivate even the most skeptical listeners. Without You, is being considered by the Fox Network for their new series, Undeclared. Smith Bros. strikes a perfect balance of impeccable pop stylings from a variety of elements that makes this project a welcome debut. The music is fun, light and will keep listeners up and on their toes.

Smith Bros. - Lost
A pearl! A gem! A simple find....out of the blue
comes an explosive and exciting new power pop
band we had never heard of. Churning guitars,
soaring melodies and unerring hooks that pledge
allegiance to pop bible and preach only light,
refreshing and cool enjoyment! It's a well
balanced affair working in uptempo songs at the
right time, after the mid-tempo ones hit their
mark and move on. Imagine the Gin Blossoms
combined with Jason and The Scorchers and
moody Big Star and melodic Mother May I.......

Smith Bros: "Lost"
Call out the genius patrol. Coming in at just under 1:45, "Lost" sets
the bar high in the in-and-out cough drop pop department. Not just
another pretty face, "Lost" tickles your soul with just enough Tele
and tubes feeling the heat. Serving suggestion: Run to see this band
now, and jump around like a nut in their tee shirts before the rest
of the planet catches on. Awesome.
