After a two-year hiatus from recording, the OC based band reconvened in
2023, returning to where it all started: drummer Lucas Ovalle's garage
It was in this familiar environment that Ovalle, guitarist lead singer Josiah, guitarist
Corbin Jacques,and bassist Seth Thomson learned how to be friends again and
shared all the anxieties and revelations they'd endured on hiatus through crafting
songs. The 13 songs that make up Big Smile are the band's emotional champions that
track the tumultuous period between the start of their break and the peace they found
on their way back to each other.
In the studio with fellow California legends Rob Schnapf (The Vines, Beck) and Matt
Schuessler (Kurt Vile, Cat Power), GREER grew up again, taking more ownership over
their sound and learning to speak producer- ese. Big Smile is the sound of a band
exorcising their demons, learning to trust themselves, and asserting themselves with
newfound earnestness and maturity. It's the sound of a band that's fallen in love with
rocking out again. It's the sound of friends rediscovering each other and the magic
that they can create together when they embrace each other's vulnerable side.
With Big Smile, GREER has arrived as a serious, and seriously fun, alt rock band with
diversity of sound and unity of vision.
