Get ready to toast to the latest from Columbus quartet Smug Brothers: the intoxicating single Sidewalk Champagne. Dark and moody yet fizzing with irresistible hooks, this track even boasts a guitar solo that still leaves Kyle Melton wide‑eyed in disbelief.
“Musically, this is a perfect snapshot of what Smug Brothers are all about: kinda dark and moody, but lots of hooks. This song has a guitar solo I’m still kinda stunned I was able to execute. Lyrically, there are a lot of juxtapositions that are at the root of human existence and trying to figure out how to shine some light in a world that can be pretty dark and unforgiving, especially now.”—Kyle Melton
