If you like your hard rock/alt metal totally raw with emotion, unrestrained, loud and artistically violent, SMEER is a band you don't want to sleep on. SMEER will appeal to fans of Godsmack and Disturbed, with their incredible crunchy guitar sound layered with full bodied, strong melodic vocals.
Conducive to speeding tickets, causing inflated senses of personal power and meeting your own personal held-down, festering angst, "Loud & Clear" is an album that will move through you and take you over, and like a scrub-brush, will have all those greasy pockets of "I've-had-enough!" worked out of your system in one listen. Simply put, if it's powerful, crushing, hard rock you want, search no more.
Recent Achievements of SMEER's include:
SMEER has received word that "Seed", the third single off their debut CD Loud & Clear, was ranked #3 in the CFAI's (New Brunswick) "Song of the Year 2003" voting. Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life" and Audioslave's "Like a Stone" were the only songs to receive more votes than "Seed"! Pretty good company by any standards!
SMEER has been approached by an extreme motorcycle stunt video group to have SMEER music featured in an upcoming video production. The video is scheduled for a springtime 2004 release - more information to follow.
SMEER's song "MOTHER" earned 2nd place in the world renown International Songwriting Competition competing with over 7000 entrants with the judging panel including Matchbox 20's Rob Thomas, Raine Maida, lead vocalist of Our Lady Peace, as well as record company executives Monte Lipman (President, Universal Records) and Jimmy Bralower (VP A&R, Atlantic Records).

Derek Silvers, the founder of the successful www.cdbaby.com, (a website that sells independent artist CD's) had this to say about SMEER recently - "I love your "Loud & Clear" CD so much I'm going to feature it on the FRONT PAGE of CD Baby for a few days. We're REALLY picky about what goes on the front page. We get about 75 new albums a DAY coming in here now, (about 30,000 total), and yours is one of the best I've ever heard."
SMEER put on an incredibly energized performance during the 2003 Canadian Music Week at the Hard Rock Café in Toronto. Reviewed by Chart Music Magazine music critic Jenny Yuen, "SMEER is progressing well towards world domination" with their refreshing sound that Jenny describes as "Soundgarden meets Metallica meets Nickelback".
A recent live performance review by DJ Tim McKay from the FOX in Fredericton - "SMEER came out of the gate with full force and never looked back...they literally pinned you against the wall and made you wonder why these guys aren't already HUGE?!!!"
Southern Ontario's flagship rock format radio station, 97.7 HTZ FM chose SMEER as one of 15 2002 ROCKSEARCH finalists for the 2nd year in a row!

Metal like a Bad-A** truck down main street!!!
author: Anden LylanYall know what I'm talkin 'bout. This is monstrous metal. Crushing. Seering. Angst-ridden. Yet tender in its own way. I hate to say it because I hate country music, but this is like "Bad-A** cowboy metal". Cool as hell.
Seen them Rock and Roll Live!!!
author: Grand Falls, New Brunswick, Canada GirlI have been to there shows from the beginning when they were playing godsmack music and Just love there sound. It makes us wonder why aren't they already huge???? I think they deserve to be heard from around the world! They have worked hard and still are working hard to make it big... Its a must buy for the rock-n-rolling, metal lovers!

I have to wonder if this band is ever misspelled as "smear" because with their grinding, aggressive, agitated and tastefully abrasive sound, it sure as heck sounds like *something* is being pulverized. If you like your hard rock/alt metal totally raw with emotion, unrestrained, loud and artistically violent, Smeer is a band you don't want to sleep on. Conducive to speeding tickets, causing inflated senses of personal power and meeting your own personal held-down, festering angst, "Loud & Clear" is an album that will move through you and take you over, and like a scrub-brush, will have all those greasy pockets of "I've-had-enough!" worked out of your system in one listen. Simply put, if it's powerful, crushing, hard rock you want, search no more.
Throw down! Thats what they do.
author: HatchetHard hitting music like I want it. Great tones on that guitar man. Love the power chords as the sound melts away the cold lethargy of my mind. Vocals are good and I anticipate the lyrics. Mother is a fantastic song. Great band. Soon as they get more in here at CD Baby I'm get'n it.

Its ok.
author: JasonToo many bands just like this. Any weekend in Phoenix you can see 50 of them. Overall, good production, but just too much like everything else out there. Something needs to change. Maybe some old school hard rock would be a nice change.
great indie cd
author: snakeeaterthis is one of THE BEST indie cd's ive heard all year. absoloutly great from top to bottom with very strong lyrics and melodic overtones. these songs hit you where u live. check out "mother" this sounds gay but i almost cried when i heard it. im serious.great work guys. rock on
Definatley worth the buy.
author: kingjust as good as seeing them perform live.
sounds great guys!!
author: GavinThe Heart of Rock Lies Within Smeer
author: HeatherThere are no words that can explain the intensity, emotion, and the sheer artistic ability of this cd. The album takes you through a broad range of rock balled to some hard fashioned rock. The lyrics actually say something but most of all this album has the blood, sweat, and tears of dedication and hard work.You can tell the band put in their all, and life experiences shine through. This is the best album that I have heard thus far everyone should own a copy and give one to a friend it is just that good.Listen to the new age of rock because it lies within Smeer.

author: ChristobelThis cd is awesome...everyone should pick this one up. If you like good, heavy rock, with a band and a singer who can pull it off, then this one is a must have. The song "Mother" really hits home with me, my situation exactly. These guys should be signed very soon.

author: KimI bought the first CD this band put out last year and when I received this one I was totally blown away. It kicks ass in every sense of the word and the songs are killer all the way threw.
