The latest from Gary Cherone (Extreme, Van Halen) who has teamed up with his brother Mark to write his most succinct record to date. The self-titled, HURTSMILE is a raw sonic sucker punch in the face! From the opening buzz saw riff of “Just War Theory” to the epic finale of ”Slave” and “Beyond The Garden/Kicking Against the Goads”, Gary continues to push and poke you in the ear with his lyrically provocative themes. Hurtsmile is comprised of the Cherone brothers Gary on Vocals (Extreme, Van Halen, Slipkid) & Markus on Guitars (Flesh, SuperZero, Slipkid), Joe Pessia on Bass (DramaGods, Tantric, Lucia Moniz) and Dana Spellman on Drums.
