Previously Unreleased Album. In the Fall of 1993, between contracts with Capitol and RCA, The Smithereens ventured into Crystal Sound Studios NYC to write and record a new album for their own label. The results of those one month marathon recording sessions is this album, unheard by the outside world until now, and appropriately titled “Lost Album”. The Smithereens’ take no prisoners sound, reflecting their Garden State roots, has resonated with fans worldwide over the course of 17 albums and 2500+ live shows. They've also inspired generations of musicians, including Kurt Cobain, who counted The Smithereens as a major influence. Founded in New Jersey in 1980, The Smithereens have been creating electrifying, original rock’n’roll for 41 years. Jim Babjak (guitar) Dennis Diken (drums) and Mike Mesaros (bass) grew up together in Carteret and lead singer, the late Pat DiNizio, hailed from Scotch Plains. The Smithereens’ fame escalated, they were in heavy rotation on MTV and appeared on The Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien, and Saturday Night Live.

lyrics
Face the world with pride
Hey you’re looking good
Where’d you get those eyes
You’re gonna fall for those same old lies
Your eyes are pretty blue
You know it isn’t true
Next you’ll be saying “where you been all my life?”
Can’t you wake up
No, it’s not love, say what’s on your mind
If you can’t say anything, stop wasting all your time
Face the world with pride
It’s such a heartless game
And such a wicked shame
That you’re believin’ all the same old lies
And you just can’t pretend
That things are different when
His passion’s not the same as your desire
Can’t you wake up
No, it’s not love, say what’s on your mind
If you can’t say anything, stop wasting all your time
Face the world with pride
Can’t you wake up
No, it’s not love, say what’s on your mind
If you can’t say anything, stop wasting all your time
And when you find the nerves
To say you’ve lived and hurt
You’ll feel much better than you did all your life
And in a perfect world
You’ll be a patient girl
There’ll be no need for the same old guy
Can’t you wake up
No, it’s not love, say what’s on your mind
If you can’t say anything, stop wasting all your time
Face the world with pride
Face the world with pride
Face the world with pride

Wilco being Wilco. Nothin' new here, but when a band has been in the busineess for decades and releases a 21 track album and most of them are really good, it's one of the greatest. alfayate

Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
