Kleveland 'melting hearts & faces everywhere' Kleveland’s self-titled debut soars melodically with rich rock 'n' roll that cherishes guitar noise as much as a meaty rhythm section. A pounding, fierce brand of rock that is as much Cheap Trick-influenced as it is Joan Jett, AC/DC, and early 90s guitar-rock. It rings true to the old and the new, a genuinely fearless rock record. www.klevelandmusic.com www.myspace.com/kleveland "Stephanie Smith led Kleveland into a crashing surge of Blondie-esque mini anthems. Smith's sandpaper-on-velvet vocal surges have never come across better or stronger, particularly on the fiery and fun new cut "Johnny Is a Klepto." Strumming in a black tank top, she's a ringer for Joan Jett, but Smith has a sound of her own, making her both archetype and idol on a night pumped full of necessary noise. --The Oregonian “Kleveland’s kickass Everybody Wants to EP sounds like the Donna’s- if the Donnas were twice as catchy…. A must-see show for fans of rowdy punk and power pop.†--The Portland Mercury “She’s got a big mouth, pretty and rude, just like her songs.†--Falling James, L.A. Weekly “Kleveland succeeds where so many have fallen short, crafting infectious guitar pop barbed with punk energy†--Willamette Week “This hard-rocking, hard-knocking abrasive power trio blasts out the noise with plenty of melody and sweet hooks†--Music Millennium “Referencing everyone from Iggy Pop to Blondie to the Kinks, Kleveland stunned onlookers with walls of sounds and pounds of rockstar panache. --Oregonian “Proceedings begin with P-town’s own Kleveland, a trio of kick-ass local heroes lead by guitarist/singer Stephanie Smith, the sort of girl Iggy Pop wishes he was—spastic, unpredictable, completely given over to the noise.†--The Portland Mercury Check out the artist's website: http://www.klevelandmusic.com Track List: 1.
