The Smittens are a hard-working globe-trotting independent American twee pop band from Burlington, Vermont, who like to think of themselves as friends first and open-hearted indiepop revolutionaries after that.
Max Andrucki, Colin Clary, Dana Kaplan, Holly Chagnon, and David Zacharis switch up instruments, song-writing, and singing to create brilliantly lyrical and catchy pop songs of all shapes and sizes. 'Dancing Shoes' sees 8 of their songs lovingly remixed by the liked of Nixon (Roger Gunnarsson), Mark Robinson (Teenbeat Records) and Steve Williams (North of January Records).
The band is a fixture on the international indiepop festival circuit with multiple appearances at the Indietracks festival, Athens Popfest, NYC Popfest, Popfest New England, San Francisco Popfest, London Popfest, and the Cosy Den Festival in Stockholm. This summer The Smittens are planning their most ambitious adventure yet with 14 shows across the UK and Europe. The band are currently at work on their 4th studio album and they have a few new tracks coming out on compilations in the near future.
