The Smithereens Prove That The 80s Weren’t Entirely A Rock ‘N Roll Wasteland
Submitted by Bloggerhythms Blog
The Smithereens prove two musical axioms. The first one is that not all rock ‘n roll bands are rewarded with success commensurate with their talents and the second one is that not all 80s rock was a gigantic waste of time. The latter is true because The Smithereens’ music stays true to […]
