DARK SMITH

ŸPRESS KITŸ
ŸDOSSIER DE PRESSEŸ
“The bible gets a queer retelling in DARK
SMITH's nihilistic “It Gets Worse”. Which
tackles themes of social alienation and systemic
hopelessness.”

“Moody and dreamy, brutal and cutting,

Dark Smith’s sound is at once ethereal and
visceral, levitating the listener into
unexplored regions of the nether.”

“It’s that marriage of snarling nihilism and

dissonant sound, producing a track (‘It Gets
Worse’) that storms out the gate tackling
millennial apathy.”
 BIO

DARK SMITH is a Seattle-based alternative outfit

formed by local artists of various alternative projects
-- post-punker Danny Denial, Post Rapture Party
guitarist Ashe Tempest, Nashville-bred bassist Lia
Lovecraft with classical roots and T-ROX/Araless and
the Greater Good drummer Nozomi Momo. Together, they’re
combining elements of shoegaze, metal, and 80’s new
wave to create a genre they call dreampunk.
