Quote from The Boise Beat: "A female on drums, with a male on guitar spitting shaky, high-pitched vocals. Their amps sending a bouquet of rock n' roll, Hendrix-style blues, and 90's grunge into the crowd. No, I am not telling you about a White Stripes performance. This is a description of Ketchum, Idaho's BlackSmith, made up of Tom and Sarah Smith.

The duo started in 2004 and are releasing their debut full-length, Camel Clutch. The album is chock full of anecdotes fueled by a whole lot of anger, especially in songs like "Asshole" and "My Groove". Tom Smith's vocals sound like Jack White doing a Johnny Rotten impression, they have the White rasp, and are yelled with the intensity exhibited in Rotten's Sex Pistols days."
