Road to ACL: Smith Westerns

Smith Westerns have become the band I hate to love. I discovered their newest album, Dye it Blonde, back before its release when NPR was streaming it on their site and immediately dug it. This indie rock group has a fresh pop sound that weaves delicately throughout their album. They’re 90′s grunge meets indie pop.

Then I made the mistake of following them on twitter. While their young ages are masked by their musical talent on their album, their immaturity as a young group comes out in full force in 140 characters or less. Still, regardless of their obnoxious tweets, I can’t help but continue to love their music. They will be a fun group to catch at ACL on Friday.
