Smith 6079 have been named Best New Band in the prestigious New Music Awards and also won Best Video for their 'Kill Romeo' debut single (on the band's MySpace page).
The band were formed in Manchester, England, in April 2005. The band spent the next 12 months months locked in their own recording studio putting together a collection of more than 30 songs - only venturing out for the occasional sold-out home-town gig. Before Long a few MP3s had been dispatched to a select group of high-ranking record company execs. Then, the phones started to ring off the hook. The band is currently seeking a UK record deal. They have recently been billed as "Manchester's best unsigned band" by the hugely popular Manchester After Dark website and named as 'The Ones To Watch' by the influential Fly Magazine. If you like your indie-rock hard, heavy, angry and bursting with attitude then Smith 6079 is the band you have been looking for. Chris Long, music reviewer for BBC Online said: "Meatier than Kasabian and more fulfilling than Death from Above 1979, Smith 6079 have kindled a musical fire which might just burn down the world". The band was chosen (from more than 400 unsigned acts who entered the competition) to support Kasabian and The Fratellis at the huge JerseyLive Festival in September 2007. They were hand-picked to play on the JerseyLive main stage by Martin Elbourne, the chief band booker for the Glastonbury Festival. Check them out on www.myspace.com/smith6079

I just couldn't see Smith 6079 doing a version of Simon And Garfunkel's 'The Sound Of Silence' - this couldn't be right! But, it's brilliant!!! Smith 6079've done something to this song that's never been done before - they've completely re-vamped the whole feel and made it new again by taking it to a completely different p… Continue
