Biography
Smith Bros is a power pop quartet that formed under the bond that Pat Dollenmayer and Mike Clark had over the love of A.M. pop radio.  Hearing anything from The Hollies to The Raspberries on A.M. radio fueled a love for power pop and hook laden songs that drove Mike and Pat to form a band to play in that style.  Smith Bros is now influenced by many power pop bands that are out today as well as the power pop groups that played in the 70’s and 80’s.  Mike plays bass and sings, Pat plays guitar and sings, and they are rounded out with Kris Phillips on drums and Eric Fritsch from Nashville on guitar.  They write original music that is compared to anything that is Brit Rock to Teenage Fanclub and Fountains of Wayne.  Smith Bros has released an independent CD titled “Lost”, and has just released their second album titled "Restless" in October 2008.
