Artist History
SMUG kicks *#! Somewhere between a well-aged velvety cabernet and a sledgehammer to your face, this L.A. trio offers a welcome alternative to the corporate shlop heard on the radio. Comprised of touring and session veterans Bret Helm (bass/vocals), Rick Musallam (guitar/vocals) and Sean Daniel (drums), SMUG delivers well crafted songs with a rocking sound that is both hard and introspective. At times they sound like it would be difficult to find better musicians anywhere, other times they sound like a band of 14 year olds ready to fall apart. Either way, this trio will fill you up.
