After going through a period where the band had no American label, Canada's
54-40 came crashing back into this country with a vengeance. Absorbing the Seattle grunge influences and adapting them to their own pop/rock sensibilities,
Smilin' Buddah Cabaret delivers a wide variety of music. From the metallic "Radio Luv Song" to the rock steady "Assoholic" to the acoustically introspective "Friends End,"
54-40 prove time and again that they know what they're doing. ~ James Chrispell
