"Move over Partridge family, the Smiths are in the house"
- Former singer and guitarist of Mourning Maxwell returns to the scene.
From the pop-punk sounds of Slowpoke to the progressive rock of Mourning Maxwell, Derek Smith seems to be a name commonly heard in the local scene. Now he returns along side his brother, Ryan, with their new project, The Smith Family Band. If the name of the project itself didn't grab your attention, the music definitely will. This is nothing like Smith's previous projects. It seems he has retired his distortion pedal and replaced it with an acoustic, some horns, and a slide. However, by no means are we saying that is a bad thing. While only about two tracks have surfaced from the band so far, it's clear that their upcoming release is something to be anticipated. If that alone isn't enough to moisten your taste buds, then maybe the fact that Smith worked with Bob Hoag [Flying Blanket] on the upcoming release will!
