The Smyrk

People throw around the word "original." They manufacture soul and replicate the status quo. The Smyrk has no interest in music as usual. We're equal parts Prince, The Police and Pandemonium. We thrash and croon. We spit and hump things. We write about bitter breakups, broken Boy Wonders and the Evil Dead. We represent the A/V club. We make the prom queen swoon. We'll make you proud to call yourself a nerd. We're The Smyrk. We're your new favorite band.
