Ryan Hamilton and Jencey Hirunrusme create their own modern blend of folk, pop and rock in Smile Smile. Their songs range from heart wrenching ballads to foot stomping sing alongs. Jencey’s classical piano background teamed with Ryan’s self-taught guitar style combine to create sounds, which both soar above you and pull you in tight at the same time.

Smile Smile’s debut cd, Blue Roses, is full of infectious melodies, dusty blue lyrics whispers, hand-claps and toe-tappable folk songs set to guitar and keys. Smile Smile were nominated for “Best Folk Rock Song (“Sad Song”) at the Los Angeles Independent Music Awards, and nominated as “Best USA Act” in the Toronto Independent Music Awards. Blue Roses charted in CMJ’s Top Ten and specialty radio, receiving influential plays on the shows like Nic Harcourt on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic.

Known for their subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) back and forth jabs onstage, when the pair sing together their voices sound as if they are one. Stripping songs down to the bone and emphasizing the simplicity of beautiful music, is about the only thing these two can agree upon. Curious about their relationship? The duo is in the process of finishing their next full-length album, Truth on Tape, that chronicles their lives. Together. And apart. And…?

Smile Smile spent a good part of 2008 on the road, playing with the likes of XO (members of Say Anything,) Shanti, Ben Folds and Simple Plan. Smile Smile are currently on tour with Metric. Their new cd, Truth on Tape,(mixed in part by Tim Palmer) will be available Fall 2009
