The Smalls

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Smalls was a punk/metal band from Edmonton, with jazz and country influences. Formed in 1990 and disbanding in 2001, the band featured bass player Corb Lund, who is attracting a lot of attention with his new outfit The Hurtin' Albertans, a roots-country band. The Smalls's last recording, My Dear Little Angle, was produced by Glenn Robinson, who was famous for working with Tori Amos and the Tea Party.
