Biography

Smile Empty Soul was a alternative trio formed while its three members were still in Santa Clarita, California high schools. Led by singer/guitarist Sean Danielson, the band also included drummer Derek Gledhill and bassist Ryan Martin. After honing their sound with numerous hometown gigs, Smile Empty Soul began venturing to the Sunset Strip, and eventually passed a demo to Todd Parker of the Los Angeles indie ThroBack. That exposure led to a deal with Jason Flom's Lava imprint, which was expanding in the wake of early signee Kid Rock's white-hot success. The trio hooked up with producer John Lewis Parker, who was at the helm for their self-titled debut, issued by Lava in May 2003. With its screeching guitars and Danielson's rage-filled vocals, the album was indebted to the alternative sounds of the early '90s. Them Crooked Vultures, Smile Empty Soul's third record (the band's sophomore outing, Anxiety, was scheduled for release in 2005, but a split with Lava kept the album from seeing the light of day until the band released it through their own MRAfia Records label in 2009) hit the streets in 2006, and was followed by the aforementioned Anxiety. Their fourth full-length, Consciousness, arrived in 2009, followed by Tr3s Lunas in 2012. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi

    Lyrics
    I don't care anymore if I let you down
    I believe that I need to be free
    I'm so used to my life with you around
    I don't know anymore, the real me
    And I thought that I found myself today

    Drive through your neighborhood
    You hide like I knew you would
    You don't ever call me
    You told me to stay away
    A game that you always play

    Lyrics
    Break everything you love
    After all there's no hope or God above
    Looking at the bright side
    At the bright side
    Kill everything inside

    Lyrics
    Cold eyes and a painted face
    Black heart pumping discount rates
    The shell you build around your world lets nothing out
    So take your fucking faker face and stay away from me
    I'm trying not to hear your lies or see your make-believe

    Lyrics
    I've been scared and lonely
    I've asked myself "Is something wrong with you?"
    My girlfriend told me
    I need some time alone to deal with issues
    But something makes me carry on
