about

The Lyres: Con (guitar, vocals), John (guitar, vocals), Paul (bass) & Scott (drums) started gigging around southern Sydney from late 1986, playing a mix of our own songs and covers of Sunnyboys, Beatles, Easybeats, and other 60s/mod/powerpop tunes. After playing for a year or so as The Lyres we tragically found at there was already an American band of that name (don’t judge us too harshly – this was years before a simple internet search for band names was possible). So after a name change to Sinister Smiles we continued on for another year or so. Never got to the point of releasing a single, but these are some collected demo recordings, lovingly remastered by Stephen Bruel and Rick O ‘Neil (thanks guys). Hope you enjoy.
