This Familiar Smile
This Familiar Smile formed in the middle-of-nowhere former mining town of Cumnock, in rural Scotland. The bleak surroundings and lack of job opportunities spurred the band on to write of their trials and tribulations, social awkwardness, failed romance, their stories, friends stories, how we are shaped by the places we live. Their influences come from acts such as Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral, Braid as well as more progressive bands like Shudder To Think, the old school prog of Rush, At The Drive-in and Cursive, crystallised on their long-awaited album, 'Ribbons, Regards And The More Machine'.
