SMiiLE is an experimental pop band based in Austin, TX and born out of a shooting star. They have provided direct support for bands such as Twin Peaks, Ringo Deathstarr, and Temples, and just completed their third national tour.
The band is fronted by singer, guitarist and producer Jake Miles. Annie Long and Mary Bryce fortify the outfit with stunning vocal harmonies, and provide a spectacle at live shows with matching alien-esque attire and singular dance moves. Other members include Harrison Anderson on the bass and Everett Bergstedt on the drums. “Sunny dissonance, avant garde pop, and playful instrumentation inform SMiiLE’s warm sincerity,” says The Austin Chronicle. Instrumentally, SMiiLE is notably polyrhythmic and complex, but with a pop influenced buoyancy that satiates.

Following the release of their first full length album, "Like A Diamond In The Rough, You Shine," the band united their following with a continually expanding repertoire of new songs. Stay tuned, as they are on track to release 2 singles and a music video every month of 2019.
