Do you remember the first time you heard Smile Empty Soul’s crushing breakout single “Bottom Of The Bottle”? How about their head-pounding and gut-wrenching track “Nowhere Kids” or their slowed down tear-jerker “Silhouettes”? Most likely it was back in 2003 when times were much simpler, music was still being played on MTV and the LA-based trio released their gold-selling self-titled debut album.
Fast-forward 15 years later and Smile Empty Soul is still going strong gearing up to release their seventh full-length album Oblivion – which, interestingly enough, hits stores May 25th nearly 15 years to the day they released their aforementioned chart-topping LP.
Now, in preparation for their first full-length since 2013′s Chemicals, Smile Empty Soul has teamed up with The Noise to premiere their nostalgic new single “Sides.”
“’Sides’ feels like a grungy throwback to me and that’s really a style of music I find myself missing tremendously these days,” says vocalist/guitarist Sean Danielsen. “There was a pure and honest quality to the grunge scene that I’d love to see make a comeback.”
To get your first taste of Oblivion, be sure to check out Smile Empty Soul’s vibey new track below. Afterwards, make sure to not only pre-order the band’s upcoming release but also grab tickets to see them out on tour with FLAW (yes, the band Stephen Colbert has been talking about) here.
