HAVING RETURNED TO THEIR ROOTS WITH TWO DAZZLING ALBUMS OF BEATLES COVERS AND A
CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED INTERPRETATION OF THE WHO S TOMMY, THIS LEGENDARY BAND NOW COMES
ROARING BACK WITH A BAKER S-DOZEN CRUNCHY, TASTY, AND HIGHLY MELODIC TUNES.
AS MUCH AS THE SMITHEREENS HAVE ALWAYS WORN THEIR INSPIRATIONS PROUDLY, SO HAS THEIR
MUSIC INFLUENCED TWO GENERATIONS OF ROCK BANDS WHO STILL PRIZE GREAT HOOKS, HIGHIMPACT
GUITARS, AND EMOTIVE VOCALS. THEY SIT COMFORTABLY AND AUTHORITATIVELY IN A LINE THAT
STRETCHES FROM BUDDY HOLLY AND THE BEATLES, THROUGH THE CLASH AND ELVIS COSTELLO, CHEAP
TRICK AND NICK LOWE, EVEN UP TO NIRVANA S NEVERMIND AND BEYOND---TO PRESENT DAY UPSTARTS
LIKE TAME IMPALA AND ARIEL PINK S HAUNTED GRAFFITI.
WITH TOUR DATES BEING ACCUMULATED FOR ALL OF 2011, THE SMITHEREENS MAY BE SAID TO BE TRULY BACK
IN ACTION. ONE LISTEN TO 2011 WILL DRIVE THE POINT HOME IN A BIG WAY. This is an ALL-NEW ALBUM
OF ALL-NEW, ORIGINAL SONGS!

2003 Remaster of their Classic 1988 Release.

KOCH Records is happy to announce the release of "B-Sides The Beatles," The Smithereens' highly anticipated follow up to their critically acclaimed 2007 release, "Meet The Smithereens." The album will be released on September 2, 2008. The album includes some very special surprises for dedicated Beatles fanatics. For "B-Sides The Beatles," Andy White, who in 1962 played drums on The Beatles' original version of "P.S. I Love You," reprises his role as surrogate stickman for The Smithereens in 2008. The September 11, 1962 session that produced "Love Me Do" and its B-side "P.S. I Love You" featured session drummer White, with the newly recruited Ringo Starr relegated to tambourine and maracas duties. Upon release in America, the A-side shot to #1, and the B-side made the top-10 as well. "B-Sides The Beatles" also includes fantastic in-depth liner notes by Beatles author/historian Bruce Spizer, as well as "Beatle" Tommy Frangione (Joe Johnson's Beatle Brunch), and the Smithereens' own Dennis Diken.

The Smithereens singing 18 of their greatest hit tunes live at the legendary Court Tavern in New Brunswick, NJ, where the band played for years prior to their first record deal. The early Court shows were instrumental in helping the band develop their signature sound, original material, and live act. This album features and showcases song selections that span the entire 28-year, 15-album career of the group, including extended and absolutely wild live versions of Radio Hits like 'Blood and Roses', 'Only A Memory', 'A Girl Like You', as well as Deep Tracks, Fan Requests, Favorite Covers, and several brand-new, much-anticipated, never-before-released Smithereens Original Songs, recorded live in concert.
