The Smoke is a five piece from Melbourne, whose fiery punk take on 60s garage and psychedelia has found critical acclaim nation-wide. Their debut, Blood Orange, was recorded and produced by the band in their living room. Its songs range in style, but are unified in their raw sound and reckless attitude. With endless pop hooks and an obvious sense of urgency, Blood Orange is "a pop gem with enough oomph to propel itself into the musical stratosphere." (3D World) Blood Orange features the singles Defeat Retreat and Sweet Spanish.
