Smile Brigade

Seattle’s Smile Brigade is into simplicity; a strong melody, a good hook and the knack for putting it all together. Its that simplicity and knack that make their music hard to get out of your head. Over the past three years, the band has been tucked away in their practice space working on infectious melodies. Their songs range from mildly sugarcoated pop, to sleazy and riff-laden rock, to melancholic lullabies. All the while they maintain a fluidity of impenetrable hooks, rich vocal harmonies and tactful composition.
Smile Brigade is:
- (Jesse) Hiram Boggs -sings/guitar
- Jeremy Charbonneau -sings/drums
- Peter Colclasure – keys/accordion
