Forty years prior to May 2009, The Who changed the face of rock music forever with their release of the classic rock opera TOMMY - music that inspired and energized generations of music fans. Among those are The Smithereens, power-pop standard bearers themselves who continue to carry the torch for great melodies, close harmonies and driving beats. On the heels of their acclaimed re-workings of the early Beatles (MEET THE SMITHEREENS, THE BEATLES: THE B-SIDES), The Smithereens now unleash their fresh and brash interpretive style on Pete Townshend's immortal epic, offering a new way of hearing these beloved songs that isn't the slavish imitation of a cover band, but casts a new light of interpretation from a band that has made its own impact on the canon of high-energy rock and roll. THE SMITHEREENS PLAY TOMMY is an anniversary present no lover of classic rock will want to miss!
