Kleveland
'melting hearts & faces everywhere'

Klevelandâs self-titled debut soars melodically with rich rock 'n' roll that cherishes guitar noise as much as a meaty rhythm section. A pounding, fierce brand of rock that is as much Cheap Trick-influenced as it is Joan Jett, AC/DC, and early 90s guitar-rock. It rings true to the old and the new, a genuinely fearless rock record.

"Stephanie Smith led Kleveland into a crashing surge of Blondie-esque mini anthems. Smith's sandpaper-on-velvet vocal surges have never come across better or stronger, particularly on the fiery and fun new cut "Johnny Is a Klepto." Strumming in a black tank top, she's a ringer for Joan Jett, but Smith has a sound of her own, making her both archetype and idol on a night pumped full of necessary noise.
--The Oregonian

âKlevelandâs kickass Everybody Wants to EP sounds like the Donnaâs- if the Donnas were twice as catchyâ¦. A must-see show for fans of rowdy punk and power pop.â
--The Portland Mercury

âSheâs got a big mouth, pretty and rude, just like her songs.â
--Falling James, L.A. Weekly

âKleveland succeeds where so many have fallen short, crafting infectious guitar pop barbed with punk energyâ --Willamette Week

âThis hard-rocking, hard-knocking abrasive power trio blasts out the noise with plenty of melody and sweet hooksâ
--Music Millennium

âReferencing everyone from Iggy Pop to Blondie to the Kinks, Kleveland stunned onlookers with walls of sounds and pounds of rockstar panache.
--Oregonian

âProceedings begin with P-townâs own Kleveland, a trio of kick-ass local heroes lead by guitarist/singer Stephanie Smith, the sort of girl Iggy Pop wishes he wasâspastic, unpredictable, completely given over to the noise.â --The Portland Mercury
