Smirk

STATIC SHOCK GIG VOL. 219

SMIRK Based in LA and with releases on Total Punk, Iron Lung, Drunken Sailor and Feel It among others, Smirk is a solo project from Nick Vicario (Crisis Man, Public Eye, Cemento). A trebly & wiry punk sound comes into effect straight out of the gate, reminiscent of the early Dangerhouse Records singles as well as the Bloodstains Across... comps (to be more precise). But there's far more to Smirk - with great songwriting, precision, and instrumentation that seem to emanate from a past that never was, bursting any preconceived sub-genre bubbles from this reality and those parallel to it.

They'll be joined by locals EEL MEN and MORREADORAS.
