Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Another GREAT SONG from The Smivets! Your intro of dramatic Guitars and Percussion lead to more pure bliss
of music for Summertime. And the song's title is most clever...wow what a tan one could get in Summer all of the time! Seriously, your vocal and lyrics are First Rate and
set the mood for perpetual Summertime...This was a HIGHLIGHT of the First Clickers Club Song Challenge! Thanks for the pleasure of this tune, and the dl to our JBBQ
Best of Best Songs Music Player.
Have a Great LOOOOOONG SUMMER Seth and Smivets,
Bob (and the JBBQ "Guys")

The Summer is in the lyrics here. In the sun, on the beach of Fuerteventura. Very good written in a pop-rock style, perfectly done. Couldn't this become a summer hit (next year)?
Very good job!

You are a master songwriter my friend. This is another fine example of your talent. You lyrics are great, the arrangements always original, and your musical performances always compliment the song to the utmost. Love the keys with the guitar and the cool steel drum tones on the break. Well sung and always well produced. If you don't use a live drummer, you are about the best drum programmer i know. Excellent post!

Hi Steve!!
Masterwork of songwriting my friend!! Exquisite performance, throughout all ranges from composition, lyrics, mixing, production....I had to read the lyrics, because I wanted understand every word ( I am still not so experienced with spoken english) and I was impressed of those lines :
"I left something behind
Something I'm not sure of
I just have to get it back, I know"
Pure Poetry.....very good, I could feel the sentiment in your music Steve, the Lyrics were really well fitted into the song: my respect to you, great Job for sure!! :)

Very nice peep into a scene in someone's life...a scene that belongs to any one of us. Great writing and visuals, excellent production and performance, as always. I think Thomas Cook should hire you! ;)
Time for me to say it this time . . . a Smivets signature sound, nice jangly guitars, great lyrics and great songwriting . . . a very british sound. Hey, but this is a bit of a generalisation; your songs always hold surprises for me. I always come away thinking, why didn't I do that. Great production Steve. I like it.
