Today "Mrs. Ladyships and the Cleanerhouse Boys" are your new favorite MOD heart throbs. 
Is there REALLY a new Merseybeat Revolution?
How many times can you really REALLY watch The Blow-Up alone in your room?
 Why don't you venture out the front door and take a bite of the real thing?
The Smashing Times are a mainstay in the indie pop underground. 
The group mistrals the new modern life perfectly, 
the sharper world.

The Baltimore band recently announced the release of its 5th album, MrsLadyships and the Cleanerhouse Boys on K Records / Perennial, due Nov. 1, 2024. Today they have shared the third single from it, which happens to be the title track from the LP. 

Featuring Thee Jasmine Monk and Zelda-Anais (The Smashing Times, Midden Heap) as well as scene stalwarts Britta Leijonflycht (Almond Joy, Children Maybe Later, Linda Smith), Paul Krolian (Expert Alterations, Linda Smith), Blake Douglas (Corduroy, Midden Heap)
Written and recorded by Jaz at Druid House. Produced by Hayes Waring and Thee Jasmine Monk. Mixed by Capt. Tripps Ballsington. Mastered by Amy Dragon.

When you call your band The Smashing Times you can’t help instantly getting the flavour of the Television Personalties and Dan Treacy, but on their second album, the band deliver that and so much more. This really is a fusion of psychedelic, twee and freakbeat  that will make your heart skip and your head smile. The guitars shimmer, strum and jangle whilst the vocals float effortlessly on top of the efficient rhythm section. Every song is a bundle of energy with hooks that come both instantly and after multiple plays. Without doubt, if it had been recorded in the 80’s would have been released on Whaam or Dreamworld but luckily for you pop kids this 2023 and K have the honor of releasing it. (Sean Forbes)

Also it's Great. Really.

US TOUR DATES:

Oct. 15 - Ridgewood, NY - TV Eye w/ Sharp Pins
