Smile Empty Soul

SMILE EMPTY SOUL is a hard rock band that originated in Los Angeles, CA in the late 1990's and has stayed true to their brand of "no bullshit", "real as it gets" hard rock to this day. The band signed a major label record deal in 2003 to release their self-titled debut album in May of that year. They realized huge success at alternative radio, rock radio, and the music video channels that have since fallen by the wayside or turned into reality show networks.
After 3 very successful singles/videos, and a gold record from the debut release, the band ran into trouble with their record company (which was in the midst of turmoil at the top levels) and found themselves working extra hard in the trenches, and signed to indie labels from then on.

This would become SMILE EMPTY SOUL' s destiny, as they have gone on to release many more albums on various labels, with their new EP “The Loss of Everything” coming in Oct of 2022.
The band has become known for its constant touring and never wavering honest sound/lyrics. They've never changed for anybody, and turned down many opportunities to "sell out" because it's not who they are.
Now, with spring of 2023 marking the 20 year anniversary of the iconic debut record, SMILE EMPTY SOUL seems to have established itself as one of the defining underground rock bands of its generation.
