CAGE WORLD

Cage World is a four piece rock band from The Bay. Not punk, not shoegaze, not soft.

SMILE TOO MUCH

Oakland quartet Smile Too Much return with their second self-titled EP of beautifully gauzy fuzz pop. On EP 2, the band forges an even deeper and more soulful version of the distortion drenched indie ballads from their 2021 debut. Deftly combining the sharp melodic instincts of Teenage Fanclub, lead guitar lines that recall J. Mascis at his most sunburnt and sweetly poignant co-ed vocals with lyrics as weary and romantic as Jason Molina, Smile Too Much situate themselves firmly in the Bay Area bummer rock tradition.
