“Despite Smith describing her pop-punk hits as the ‘starter’ in a three-course meal, her take on the genre with a single like ‘Why Does This Always Happen To Me?’ serves up an omakase of lyrics, sound, and performance that breathes a fresh perspective into the South African alternative scene,” writes

We talk being new to the scene (but not new to the grind), cringe as a state of mind, and the merits of eating Bovril every morning with
@iammilasmith at the link in our bio. 🔍 Plus, a Ramones reference sure to drive at least one of you up the wall with rage 🌝
If you’re as stoked about Mila Smith’s entry into South African alternative music canon as we are, you can catch her LIVE at Emo Night Presents: Feedback on Saturday 25 April in Cape Town (
@evol_nightclub ).
As always, the chance to curate lineups with artists like Mila Smith is a privilege, and we often can’t believe how lucky we are to be able to do it. Tickets are in our bio when you’re ready to join us! 🎟️
