Loud and Clear
If you like your hard rock/alt metal totally raw with emotion, unrestrained, loud and artistically violent, SMEER is a band you don't want to sleep on. SMEER will appeal to fans of Godsmack and Disturbed, with their incredible crunchy guitar sound layered with full bodied, strong melodic vocals.

Conducive to speeding tickets, causing inflated senses of personal power and meeting your own personal held-down, festering angst, "Loud & Clear" is an album that will move through you and take you over, and like a scrub-brush, will have all those greasy pockets of "I've-had-enough!" worked out of your system in one listen. Simply put, if it's powerful, crushing, hard rock you want, search no more.
