Quinn The Brain premieres new video »Smile«!

On this track, the group asserts themselves against the old adage of being asked “what’s wrong” on a consistent basis when you have RBF. For many, this is out of our control and an involuntary expression. Just walking down the street deep in thought, when a stranger comes up and says “smile”!

No context – just “smile”! In that second we can either come up with something witty to say, perhaps even pop a blood packet in our mouth to mess with them, or realistically just stare back. Rarely having the right words for the moment we usually fume in silence with the same look intact.

»Smile« takes a look at those who ask and offers a biting response.

Named after an all-too-real episode of Daria, Quinn The Brain is a dark alt-rock/grunge-punk power trio that brings back music based on the harsh truths of reality. With lyrics pulled from real-life experiences and music reflecting the moods and themes of the darkest hour, Quinn The Brain proves that angst isn’t just for teenagers.

Based in Houston, Texas, Quinn The Brain has performed various concerts across the United States, including the legendary Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles and Psyched! Fest in San Francisco, shared the stage with up-and-coming bands such as Starcrawler, Margaritas Podridas, Skating Polly, and Daikaiju, been featured on University of Houston’s Coog Radio and Houston Pacifica Radio 90.1 KPFT and has been often listed in the Houston Press as part of The Best Music of The Week as well as had features published in Ever Metal, Über Röck and RAMzine.
