Authors, What's In A Name?

Russian/ American author and professor of biochemistry, popular for his tales of science fiction Isaac Asimov stated, "the only constant is change". Change in this case being of a path and a name. Up until recently, Toronto post-hardcore quartet The Smile has been a 4 year project, off to the side for Akroid drummer Jason Galbraith. About a year ago famed Etobicoke drummer Aaron Morrice (currently of The Chronic and of past projects Gunnar Rapido, Straight Goods and Etobicoke Death Squad) joined the fold. Since that day, change and progress has been exponential with the project officially becoming and functioning as a band.

Even though The Smile's activity was infrequent at best. A fair bit of visibility was gained through a handful of shows and a Myspace page. With Aaron in the fold the band's activity and enthusiasm has picked up significantly, writing new material with a fresh perspective, and booking gigs much more frequently. As the last years activities played out and more interaction was afforded through the higher frequency of shows. It started becoming evident that the name The Smile was making a better door than a hallway. The comment to sum up the motivation for the change is as follows "I thought you guys were some kind of indie/ ska type band. I never would have checked it out if I didn't happen to be at this show".

Upon discussing the matter, the word "authors" came up and Galbraith's eyes lit up. "That's it!" he said, adding "I think it more appropriately sets the tone and vibe". So Authors it is with the band writing a new batch of material, gigging like crazy and booking Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes for the months ahead.
