Pat DiNizio, you managed to write the greatest Broken Heart Song ever. Just genius. I remember breaking up with a boy named Pete (well, he dumped me, actually) and I listened to this song over and over and over and smoked a million Marlboros and didn't eat for weeks and cried buckets. It was a painful time made more beautiful by your song.

funny about these guys- its just pop with a capital P, but that guitar is just so powerful, the voice is soulful despite strictly 2d lyrics, and the lyrics become loaded and intense despite themselves.. its the sound of being in love.

Bruce can't even tongue their onions.

The video, drowning in my own tears I saw Mike fall in that video I hope he did not hurt himself at the time.

The new album is great. If you have the means, I suggest picking it up!

@tweekngeek Hey, sorry for taking so long to post. Had some tech issues to resolve and I was down for repairs. Agreed, "Cigarette" is a lost Smithereens song that rarely gets heard. Not sure exactly where you could find that one?

Pat DiNizio is coming to fucking Phoenixville PA, so fucking stoked! An ice-cream shop owner I chum with knows the band personally I'm so stoked, I hear Pat is a strange and awesome dude in person.
One of the only reasons I'm proud o be from New Jersey, The Smithereens.
Their music is poetic simplicty--no complex chord changes, no heavy distortion, it's just straighforward and honest power rock.
They keep it simple, and they don't add any numbers, and their staying power after all these years is a tribute to the old saying; "If it's not broken, don't fix it."
Rock on fellas!
