Pinewood Smile

High-octane glam rock with a sharp British wit. A theatrical explosion of twin-guitar harmonies, soaring falsettos, and hilariously profane social commentary.

It's like Queen and AC/DC had a baby that's really angry about the British rail system.

A riotous and self-aware celebration of rock excess mixed with mundane frustrations.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, aggressive shift into the profane and hilarious rant about the rail system during Southern Trains.
The soaring, multi-tracked vocal harmonies that elevate the tongue-in-cheek arrogance of Solid Gold.
The way the guitar solo in Japanese Prisoner of Love mimics the dramatic tension of a classic metal ballad.
