Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
Here's one for the Clickers Club Mad Hatters player. From the 2018 album of the same name, I thought this would fit the bill. Voice hadn't quite recovered when this was recorded, which sort of suited the song.
Lyrics
They say I look at life with Rose-tinted contact lenses in my eyes. I like to keep my expectations low So any luck I get makes a nice surprise. I guess your greatest fear's That it won't all end in Penitential tears. I'll let the hazard hap, Content with what lands in my lap 'Cause I've No money, no plan, Surviving each day the best I can But if you think that I'm sad, Well I'm not. But I think someone lost the plot. You say I listen to you As if I have my fingers in my ears. I'd like to point out that's what's Been keeping me out of trouble all these years. I guess that works for me: I'm happy, anchorless, And worry free. Glad to be alive I'll leave the busy bees the hive 'Cause I've No money, no plan, Surviving each day the best I can But if you think that I'm sad, Well I'm not. But I think that someone lost the plot. And I hate it when they say Come on have a go if you think you're hard enough. They know that I'm just not So what's the point in all that Dumb chest-beating stuff? If that's what it's about I'll let the tough guys strut And tough it out. Take what you think's best, I'll sit back and take what's left (woohoo) No money, no plan, Surviving each day the best I can But if you think that makes me sad, It does not. But I think someone lost the plot.

YES! A stunning rocker, a rockin' stunner. That harmonic twist at the prechorus is just perfect. Did I mention that solo? Or the sudden downtempo and ska jazz morph and I think I'll need to listen a few more times to appreciate it all.

This one rocks and sounds like you had fun putting this together. That heavy Brit guitar tone is massive and the post-pop-punk lyrics/vocals are great!!!!!
