We The Kings: "Smile Kid"

I found this fantastic article in AP Magazine about We The Kings' new album, "Smile Kid." I'm a big fan of WTK. Their upbeat jams put me in a better mood every time they come on my ipod. It's definitely dance-around-your-room-while-singing-into-a-hairbrush music.

It's been two years since WTK's debut album, and "Smile Kid" definitely does not disappoint. This article is written by WTK frontman Travis Clark. He walks you through each song on the album. Enjoy! And go buy "Smile Kid" today!
