The Cornerstones
Smack Me In The Face

Redemption

WE SAY

The name The Cornerstones will be well known to regulars on our messageboard, so it was a relief and a delight for us to discover the music justifies those mentions. Smack Me In The Face is melodic, passionate, rootsy pop rock that pleasantly recalls Radiohead's Street Spirit. We hear they're great live too. (They play the Metro on 30/9.)
