Post-Trash's Year In Review: The Best of 2022
Smirk - "Material" | Album Review
Ten tracks of tangled, anxious but melodic punk, Material is the latest from Smirk, the solo project of Los Angeles guitarist Nick Vicario (Public Eye, Crisis Man). The followup to two 2021 releases, the album typifies the punchy, lo-fi aesthetic of the Feel It roster, while embracing both ‘70s-flavored rock guitar jams and jittery new wave of the ‘80s.

Smirk - "Souvenir" | Post-Trash Premiere
The world is about to get more Smirk, as Nick Vicario (Crisis Man, Public Eye, Cemento) returns with his first true full length, Material. Due out November 18th via Feel It Records, the album is a whirlwind of twangy post-punk and raw garage rock, picking up somewhere between The Gun Club and a dizzyingly raw knack for basement punk.

Smirk - "Staring at Screens" | Post-Trash Premiere
The once again informatively titled EP, is seven new songs that find Smirk doing what they do best, making agitated punk that feels both jittery and anxious. Due out soon via Total Punk Records (Predator, Brandy, ISS), it’s full of rippers that take the piss out of everyday life with jagged guitars and feral distortion.
