Back by popular demand, Fayetteville, AR's mastercrafts of the midsouth garage and punk rock sound, The Phlegms, hit album, "Smile"!
We at Cult Love are so proud to bring forth the rerelease of our friends in The Phlegms iconic garage punk masterpiece, "Smile". Midsouth indulgers of alternative music should already be more than familiar with this 2018 work of art. Entrenched in the Arkansas DIY scene, The Phlegms' "Smile" seamlessly blends southern sonic charm with the aggressiveness of punk and catchiness of garage rock. Fight tracks like "I Will Find You" are followed by southern summer waltz like "Dog" and freakishly infectious songs, such as the hit "Rigid".
On "Smile", The Phlegms fully and colorfully display the vast array of their talents and influences and it is such a rewarding listen that will leave you wanting more and more of them. A treasure of the midsouth US' DIY scene, an album anyone can get behind, and a fabulous release to start with to get to know the indisputably incredible Phlegms. Whether listening to the tape or seeing them perform the songs in a sweaty basement in the south, you will be blown away.
