Smile

The Limerick group release the first single from their forthcoming debut Sweeter Than Bourbon. The description could easily apply to this song, which is propelled by a weeping bass and intricate, silvery guitar scales. Lead singer Rob Hope is possessed of an agile voice that moves steadily up the octave before flinging itself headlong into a chalky falsetto in the chorus. This single and their victory in the 2006 UL Battle of the Bands bode well for the future.
