My first single “The Day the Nazi Died” (originally by Chumbawamba) drops this Wednesday!
It’ll be available on YouTube, Spotify, and Bandcamp — honestly, it might be my best work yet.
Would love your support! 🎶✊

“Just to clarify: while The Smiling Bastards isn’t currently active, we do plan on reuniting. The name The Smiling Bastards (TSB) still belongs to us. Not to be rude, but we are The Smiling Bastards.”

Hi everyone!
I’m trying something new here (and on a few other socials). This account used to be for The Smiling Bastards — but since the band’s no longer active, I’m switching things up!
From now on, this will be Alfalfa the Shanty Man, Expect music, gaming, and maybe some IRL bits too.
