Post To Wire Recommends Seeing The Smoking Flowers Live

The Smoking Flowers are currently touring the US, but earlier this year they were on the other side of the world playing to audiences in Australia while touring with Deer Tick. Post To Wire caught the band at a gig in Sydney, writing that "[The White Stripes are] an unavoidable comparison given their makeup, the guitar tones and drumming style. The offered more than that just though, a brace of songs on acoustic guitar and accordion with raw and intimate vocals on one mic showed Kim and Scott Collins’ range and chemistry as they increasingly won over the crowd."
