Description

If you like your hard rock/alt metal totally raw with emotion, unrestrained, loud and artistically violent, SMEER is a band you don't want to sleep on. SMEER will appeal to fans of Godsmack and Disturbed, with their incredible crunchy guitar sound layered with full bodied, strong melodic vocals.

Conducive to speeding tickets, causing inflated senses of personal power and meeting your own personal held-down, festering angst, "Loud & Clear" is an album that will move through you and take you over, and like a scrub-brush, will have all those greasy pockets of "I've-had-enough!" worked out of your system in one listen. Simply put, if it's powerful, crushing, hard rock you want, search no more.


Recent Achievements of SMEER's include:

SMEER has received word that "Seed", the third single off their debut CD Loud & Clear, was ranked #3 in the CFAI's (New Brunswick) "Song of the Year 2003" voting.

We're REALLY picky about what goes on the front page. We get about 75 new albums a DAY coming in here now, (about 30,000 total), and yours is one of the best I've ever heard."
