The Smittens: A five-piece fi-curious indiepop band from Burlington, Vermont. A DIY punky bubblegum pop explosion. Debut album, “Gentlefication Now!” released on the Dangerfive label in autumn, 2003.
Our ears are burning! What some folks have been saying about The Smittens:
“la la la la la! (more addictive than crack!)” - from the indiepop list
“Not your average cuddle core weepers… Charming, hilarious, witty, peppy, sugary, sing-songy—this is serious shit, boys and girls: this band really does want to make the world a better place” – Ethan Covey, Seven Days
And about the Twilight Furniture compilation “I’m Gonna Watch the Bluebirds Fly over my Shoulder” on which two Smittens songs appear:
”The highlights include two hyper-friendly ditties from The Smittens, one an ode to a music collection left in a box at the parents’ house, the other an exceedingly giddy sing-a-long called ‘Gentlefication Now!’ that sounds like the Pogues might sound if every member were Jonathan Richman.” –Dave Heaton, Erasing Clouds
”The bestest song of the bunch…is The Smittens’ utterly cute ‘Gentlefication Now! (The La La La Song).’ Wiith a clumpy drum beat and happy-go-lucky boy and girl singing and the heavenly la-la-la’s, it’s an instant mixtape classic! - Joseph Kyle, Mundane Sounds
