The Smithereens - B Sides The Beatles Meet The Smithereens
Review by syorayaa
The album B Sides The Beatles Meet The Smithereens by Smithereens is a unique and innovative tribute to two of the most iconic bands in music history. The album features covers of lesser-known Beatles songs, as well as original songs inspired by the legendary Liverpool quartet.
The Smithereens' signature power-pop sound shines through on every track, with catchy guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and soaring vocals. The band's reverence for the Beatles is evident in their faithful renditions of songs like "You Can't Do That" and "I'll Get You," but they also put their own spin on the classics, adding their own distinctive sound to the mix.
The original songs on the album are equally impressive, showcasing the Smithereens' songwriting skills and their ability to capture the spirit of the Beatles' music. "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" are standout tracks, with catchy hooks and sing-along choruses that are sure to get stuck in your head.

Comments
Most Beatle covers are not nearly as good the original. This song cover is the exception
Normally I hate Beatle covers but this is awesome!! They add just a little Rock and Roll filth and muscle to the sound and it actually adds something worthwhile.
GREAt drums!! So in the pocket.
the one dislike is from a brain donor...?
With those low voices they seem the fathers of the Beatles joining in another band.
Outstanding cover versions from these guys
See? They lowered the key of this song so whoever is singing the high part can hit the notes,. unlike "I Want To Hold Your Hand" where Pat just stays on the same note for "Hannnnnnd" instead of making the octave jump. It's because Paul is Paul, and no one can touch him. FABS4EVER
That deep introduction just blew me away.
@peepsieD You obviously have no idea what you're talking about; the key is changed for their voices and the Smithereens tune down 1/2 step. Severo uses a 4 string bass. Idiot.
A great cover of one of my all time favorite songs. Love it!
The Smithereens do an excellent cover of one of my all time favorite Beatle songs.
This is the Beatles from other dimension !
Smithreens are born to cover the Beatles!
Wow .....
FUCK!!! The balls!!!
very nice very impressed
They are good but if you want your SOCKS blown OFF, listen to the BEST Beatles tribute band, all 4 play and sing LIVE and the bass is even left-handed. The Fab Four....look them up here on YT! NOT "The Fab" but "THE FAB FOUR". I've seen them live numerous times and they SLAY! Enjoy!! :D xoxoxoxoxoxox!!! (Not to take anything away from the Smithereens tho, they are very good!)
Consistently a great band!
Christ this band have never sucked...not for even one day. They are incredible
Hahaha i read about this guys in Wikipedia today.
Tremendously underrated band. Saw them many times. Always an awesome show!!
One of my favorite bands of all time. I feel very bad about the death of their lead singer. They were a very capable 1980's rock band.
As I said in another video, England gave us the "Fab Four
