Full-on angry rocker with a touch of thrash to light it up.

Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
The Smivets' motivational speech set to music. Dedcated to the "all mouth & no trousers" brigade who, as you can see, get my goat somewhat.
Lyrics
You talk a lot But do nothing Always complaining But change nothing A lot of words That say nothing Time to shut up And do something Barrack room lawyer Armchair warrior You ain't said nothing that I ain't heard before, yeah What if we left it all up to you now Watcha gonna watcha gonna watcha gonna do? I'd like a little less smoke, a little more fire, That's the kind of plan that I desire Taking the initiative's what I need A little less haste, a little more speed I want a little less talk, a lot more action Maybe start a bit of a chain reaction Instead of wasting time fixing what isn't broke How 'bout a little more fire, a little less smoke, huh? You got something? Let's see it You want action? Just do it Backseat driver Take the wheel Let's see if your sh*t's for real Backseat driver Take the wheel Let's see if your sh*t's for real Ready to put your money where your mouth is? No, I thought not I want a little less smoke, a little more fire, That's the kind of plan that I desire Taking the initiative's what I need A little less haste, a little more speed I want a little less talk, a lot more action Maybe start a ch ch ch chain reaction Instead of wasting time fixing what isn't broke How 'bout a little more fire, a little less smoke, huh?

BIG sound!! Brilliant lyrics, fantastic hook and top notch performance. Excellent vocals and music, great arrangement - this really does sound like a pro studio job. Gotta have this one for my station. "Ready to put your money where your mouth is...not I thought not" superb spoken line there...I really love this - wish I'd written it!! Do approach some publishers...your work deserves to be heard by a much larger audience!
