(Rock, Grunge Rock)

Smiley was a hard-edged, alternative rock group based in Liverpool.

When they signed to the management company Blue Moon Entertainment in 1997, Smiley had been together for just short of two years. However, the band members had known each other since their early school days. In those days, they shared a common love of rock music and skateboarding.

Smiley wrote, arranged and co-produced their own music - no mean feat for a bunch of fiteen and sixteen year olds. Although they were still very young men, Smiley earned the respect of musical peers - including the respect of top studio technicians and producers.

As for their sound, one prominent American tour promoter immediately dubbed their sound "BritCoast" - a mixing of solid American West Coast rock sounds with a distinctive British sensibility. Smiley created a "sound" that generated enthusiasm in some of the hardest music markets in the world - Japan, North America and Latin America.
