Smithereens - 2011 (CD)

The Smithereens'Produced by Don Dixon (who helmed 'Especially For You,' the group's breakout debut), 'The Smithereens 2011' features 13 tracks and finds the seminal New Jersey rockers with irresistibly catchy hooks and rapturously fuzzed-out guitars. Pulsing with the same raw energy and vitality the band conveyed years ago, the album easily ranks with the best work The Smithereens have ever recorded.
