Smile Smile's Hearts Are Broken--But Its New Record Is Solid

2010-02-10T15:43:00.000-08:00

Inter-band turmoil? That's just something to be expected during any band's career. Problems can arise from a range of sources, including monetary concerns, creative strife, roadweariness and, often enough, infidelity. It happens.
