"Crushing chronic chords with the dyne-rhythm section to fuel it all, are not only still here, but stronger than ever". -No Depression
"Everything in Smithereens' world is like a film noir shot in psychedelic colors. But this New Jersey band has a talent for creating fresh variations that prevent dust or mist from clouding their music. 'Smithereens 2011' reaches a peak with the song that opens the album, the sour-tempered yet utterly transporting 'Sorry.'" -Ken Tucker, NPR
"Wholly satisfying blast of classic Smithereens songcraft and melodicism, colored with Pat DiNizio's impassioned vocals, Jim Babjak's thick-toned, stinging guitar, Dennis Diken's imaginative, powerful drum work and Severo 'The Thrilla' Jornacion's stylish bass. The entire collection sounds like a return to The Smithereens' mid-to-late '80s glory years, both song and performance-wise." -Goldmine Magazine
"And 2011's songs – the songs! – vintage! Picks up where Green Thoughts left off." -Pop Dose
Christmas With The Smithereens
Regular price $31.00 Save $-31.00Limited green colored vinyl LP pressing. Christmas with The Smithereens is more than a Christmas-time cover album. This quartet does an impressive job of channeling the spirt of 1960s rock, and solidly interpreting each memorable tune. The band's originals add a nice twist to the disc and are written with such '60s-savviness that without prior knowledge it would almost be difficult to decide which songs were covers and which were originals. Lead singer Pat DiNizio wraps his husky voice around a smartly selected collection of classic seasonal rockers such as "Run Rudolph Run" and "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," along with more obscure fare. It's the latter that makes this such a delight, as the band tears into rugged re-workings of the Ramones' "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)," the Who's crunchy "Christmas" (from Tommy) and even a rare Beatles track grabbed from the Liverpool band's '60s fan club only discs.
