Still a relatively young band – they first appeared in late 2018 – Melbourne's Smarts recently released their debut album, 'Who Needs Smarts, Anyway?'.
A full-blast of warped pop melodies and oddball rock rhythms married to a punk attitude, Smarts are a sound all of their own.They'll be bringing their frantic yet taut rhythms and the odd blast of horny sax when they open proceedings at Summer Sounds Festival in Melbourne supporting King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Tropical F... Storm this Friday (26 February).
Before they do, they've shared five of their favourite Simpsons episodes of all time.
