SK BIO:
Smoochknob is led by drummer-vocalist and founder Donnie Rife. Formerly drummer / singer of the legendary Midwest band The Blue Meanies. He formed Smoochknob (reference to Midwest slang for a suicide knob on steering wheel on a car) Shortly after he moved to Portland, Oregon. His catchy tongue-in-cheek songs garner comparisons to similarly infectious and clever punky bands like Weezer, Chixxdiggit and Presidents of the U.S.A. Calling his music Gay-core; Rife's Elton John on Rivers Cuomo stylings is in full force on the new album.
