Smile Empty Soul
 

now that im thinking about it, smile empty soul is a very good band too. sorry to make two threads in one night but i have one of their songs in my head so i felt like it. anyway, smile empty soul is an ok band. its ones of those kinds of deals where its a good thing they released the singles that they did cuz the other songs mightve turned some people off. i think theyre coming out with a new album sometime soon but im not sure when.

recommended songs:
silhouettes
with this knife
nowhere kids
bottom of a bottle
who i am

Their alright but they kinda confuse me with bottom of a bottle..is their supposed to be a christiany message behind it?

Ah, I haven't heard much by them. I liked the song 'The other side' at least, I think thats what it's called. meh.

erm im not sure but i highly doubt it. google it later.

Any Smile Empty Soul lovers?
 

Curious, because i couldnt find any posts about them if anyone here like Smile Empty Soul. They have a unique type of sound, not sure how to classify it.

Another band is EmptySelf, i dont think there very big, but there real good.

is EmptySelf similar to Smile Empty Soul...if so then I already like them and I haven't heard them

never heard of any of these bands, what genre?

No there completely differnt. I think Empty self is kinda experimental softer m usic, while Smile Empty Soul is Alt Rock / Post Grunge. Check out a few f there bigger songs, Out To sea, Nowhere Kids.

Smile Empty Soul has a tough to classify sound? Are ya kidding? They sound like trapt and PoM and every other angry white boy "no one understands me" garbage.

uh, not quite. but whatever

i like them
theyre mucho better than trapt & puddle of mudd combined
the video for "nowhere kids" gives me the chills

Congrats, you found one song...

tha completly backed up exactly what I said. A statement you said did not match up. Now tell me, do I have to post their entire catalouge before you'll concede or will just one more suffice.

It's just boring, made for radio "heavy rock" music.

survey says try again

generic radio friendly garbage.

see I'm the opposite way...I prefer trapt over smile empty soul....

I think it's because I can relate more to trapt's female problems in their lyrics....

I think you like SES more because you can related to their teen angst bull**** lyrics.....don't get me wrong...I like smile but I think trapt is so much better

haha yeahh you know youre probably right
that & i think the songs about his childhood abuse are just really powerful & make me even more angsty
:D

SES are far from generic, radio-ready rock. I mean, part of the reason that they're no longer on a big label is because they didn't want to go that route. If you look purely at their singles, then yes, they are radio-ready and not exactly ground breaking, but a lot of their other stuff is quite superb. They're clearly influenced by Alice In Chains and Nirvana. If the stuff with their old label Lava never happened, and their second album 'Anxiety' was released as originally scheduled, they'd be a lot more popular then they are now. They stuck to their principles though and are still making great music.

I reccommend 'Ban Nuys', 'Atoll' (an instrumental), 'Morning Light', 'Californias Lonely', 'With This Knife' and 'Reflection'.

Smile Empty Soul (2003)
 

I just love the debut album of Smile Empty Soul with Sean Danielsen on lead vocals, lead & rhythm guitars is a rock classic in my opinion, if you like grunge anyway. They remind me a lot of Silverchair's style, with a little "Puddle Of Mudd". This album is loaded with outstanding rock singles like Silhouettes and With This Knife.
