Frank Smith - Heavy Handed Peace & Love

Frank Smith is a band, not a man, and features former members of the Lot Six (toured nationally as support to the Distillers) and Eyes Like Knives. They have a sound that is as vast as America. Like the country they come from, they reconcile countless would-be opposites as songs from the back porch country are driven straight into the noise of the city, simple folk tunes are given the most intricately complex arrangements, and the freedom of the music is constantly pulled back by the authority of the beat. All of this is masked by American deadpan at it's finest in lyrics that are too simple to be simple.
