The Smith Street Band- No One Gets Lost Anymore

Wil Wagner from the Smith Street Band is a modern day poet. There I said it, he’s our generation’s Paul Kelly. The Aussie singer-songwriter and front man of Melbourne’s The Smith Street Band is such a talented writer, and it’s on full display on debut album ‘no one gets lost anymore’. You may need to take a few moments to get past his Aussie twang and yell/sing combination, but make sure you do,you will be justly rewarded. Wagner is a storyteller and transports the listener straight to the suburbs of Melbourne, inviting you into his world of parties, lost loves, family, friends and the struggles of his mind.  It’s hard not to be swept up in Wagner’s passionate, honest and raw delivery, so just let  yourself be! You get the feeling Wagner would be making music whether he found any success or not Hot tip: go see this band live, you’ll grow to like this record but you will fall in love with them at their show.
