Waiting For Smith

Singer-songwriter Harry is Waiting For Smith, currently playing live with Carl on bass and Tim on drums. Smith is the original drummer who never showed up. Waiting For Smith's songs are like the words in their name: of medium length, in plain English, with short gaps between. Most of all, they're instantly familiar, as if you've heard them before in another room.

"Oxfordshire project Waiting For Smith tap into that witty, eccentric English spirit. The band's songwriting is frequently tongue in cheek, but always has an emotional hold, a bittersweet quality." CLASH MAGAZINE clashmusic.com/news/premiere-waiting-for-smith-monkeys-in-my-head

"WFS's music is eclectic and instantly likeable – a blend of foot-tapping soulful groove, poignant ballads and new indie folk with a hint of pop, The songs are unusually catchy – with strong hooks that get under your skin and stay there."
