The Smittens are a six-piece indiepop band from Burlington, Vermont and a DIY twee pop (also known as love rock, anorak rock, or shambling, and when fused with punk, cuddlecore) explosion. Formed in 2002, The Smittens have been winning the hearts and minds of indiepop fans and discerning critics in the U.S. and abroad with an impressive and rapidly expanding catalog of fresh and fancy bubblegum-inspired revolutionary twee pop. Accomplished songsmiths all, the six Smittens switch up instruments and song-writing to create brilliantly lyrical and hyper-catchy pop songs of all colors, shapes and sizes. The 500s were formed in 2006 when, in the basement of the purple house, Jonathan Strawberry-Allstar did some drumming with Isaac Turner, who played a pretty blue guitar, and Sammie Warren, who wrote the names of the notes on the keys.
