Vertical Smirk are fresh meat of the punk world, just appearing on the scene one day transformed through drunken tattoos, trendy new hair cuts and too much Punky Bruster.
Having been described by fellow music lovers as having an “authentic garage punk” sound, Drum Media reviewer Layne Kim seemed the more artistic way around stating that “this is a band sticking true to what they believe in, whether or not anyone else appreciated it. That said, however, the audience seemed to really dig what was going on.”
Inspired by Tom Cruise and your mum they have attempted to resurrect old school punk rock back into the scene with their safety pinned voodoo magic even “while some of the lyrics may have been ideologically offensive… and the sneering attitude of the singer grating, that can probably be seen as a good thing by lovers of the crustier end of punk”.
Recent achievements include spending 3 weeks on the Triple J Unearthed Punk charts (of 2516 other bands, and counting) for Swamp Donkey and The Cowbell Song, reaching number 6 in our most glorious of moments, having a semi finalist status of A Red Letter Day band competition as well as learning how to tie their own shoe laces.
Vertical Smirk have just release the 5 track "My Mum's Dead" EP featuring crowd favourites Swamp Donkey and The Cowbell Song. We aim to please.
