Tommy

Forty years ago this May, the Who changed the face of rock music forever with their release of the classic rock opera TOMMY-music that inspired and energized generations of musicians and fans. Among those are The Smithereens, power-pop standard bearers themselves who continue to carry the torch for great melodies, close harmonies, and driving beats. on the heels of their acclaimed reworkings of the early Beatles (MEET The Smithereens, THE BEATLES: THE B-SIDES), The Smithereens now unleash their fresh and brash interpretive style on Pete Townshends immortal epic, offering a new way of hearing these beloved songs that isn’t the slavish imitation of a cover band, but casts a new light of interpretation from a band that has made its own impact on the canon of high-energy rock and roll.
