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.
On their new track »Smile«, 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.
