    Press Reviews
    "The Smilin' Scandinavians convinced me, these guys and gals know their toons and they trust themselves enough to play them for real." - William Steven Humphrey(The Stranger)----------------- "Polka Devas Unite! Smilin' Scandinavians are polka practitioners who have no room for melancholy thoughts, lest it would dampen the mirth and gaiety the Seattle band espouses. Smilin' Scandinavians have been doing this polka gig for some time now and all the toil has paid off. The rich meld of comedy and bonafide musicianship translates into the dance album of all dance albums." (The Rocket)
