Young Drunk – Sounds of Oz

The Smith Street Band seem hell-bent on world domination. They’ll barely stop to draw breath in the next few months as they promote their Sunshine & Technology album, featuring the infectiously boisterous single “Young Drunk”, all around the world.

Australian audiences will get a chance to see the band before tour fatigue sets in with festival gigs and headliner shows all around the country. After warming up for local fans, The Smith Street Band will be off to Europe and the United States.

There’s certainly no shortage of opportunities to see Australia’s newest pub rock sensations in the coming months!

I’m not saying that I advocate the drunkenness and debauchery that goes on at on nights like this, but I know that it happens. And I figure if you’re going to overindulge on New Year’s Eve, you might as well have a soundtrack. I also figure it’s probably my job as a music blogger to provide it.

So in the interest of giving the readers what they want, wrap your ears around “Young Drunk,” the new single from The Smith Street Band. It’s as ocker as they come, with rough vocals and the kind of chorus you know you’ll start belting out later on tonight.

This is also the first time The Smith Street Band have treated us to a music video. Sure, it’s no work of creative genius, but it does capture the energy that comes when this band hits the stage. The footage here was captured at the band’s Sunshine and Technology album launch at The Tote in August.

If it has you itching to see this band live, you’re in luck. They’ll hit the following venues next year!
