Ahead of the release of their new record Blue Weekend, due out June 11 via Dirty Hit/RCA (pre-order on limited transparent green vinyl), they've shared another new single, an empowering anthem called "Smile."
With this new track, the four-piece remind listeners of their roots, coming in with a fuzzy, booming bassline and harsh and abrasive guitar solos, with vocalist Ellie Rowsell spitting and growling each line. The track serves as a perfect ‘fuck you’ directed at those who always seem to have something to say about how women dress, act, feel, and speak. Lines such as "I am what I am and I am good at it / if you don't like me, well that isn't fucking relevant," serve as a reminder that regardless of what anyone else has to say, you have the right to be comfortable in your own skin and to do whatever you please — and you definitely don't have to smile when a creep asks you to.
