March 2008 - Lost your Innocents? Fret no more. The new one by Rob Smith (vocalist/guitarist for The Innocents) is out April 8! Full of heavenly melodies and harmonies, “Trick of the Light” glows with super smart lyrics and updates any collection of great summer guitar pop albums. Sydney native Rob Smith will charm your socks off. The best thing to come out of Australia since Vegimite.
 
Bio
The No Hit Wonders from down under started their careers in Tasmania as Beethoven; however, after a couple of years, sanity prevailed and they became the Innocents. The name change occurred in 1978 and here in 2004, The Innocents remain as not only reminders, but an active band continuing to create pop masterpieces. Although the teens who worshipped The Innocents are now a bit “long in the tooth”, the songs of the album are as fresh and beautiful today as ever.

  SOLD OUT

Album Reviews: The Innocents’ 2 CD set, issued on Zip Records, and contains 33 tracks, close to the complete works of the band. Starting with their first, very Beatle-ish single ‘Darlin”, the songs extend all the way to a recording from 2000. The CD package contains too much to mention – a gallery of band photos, reviews, articles, etc.

With a hilarious intro by then DJ Kim Fowley, these discs are a salute to major label prowess (EMI and RCA were both labels involved with many of the tracks) and the talent and tenacity of a band a bit outside the population mainstream.
