Growing Pains
As Peanuts & Corn Records resident
brokenknuckle bard, John Smith crafts
songs that detail the lives of his
community, Winnipeg's infamous North
End. Stylistically, he eases through a
myriad of flows with a delivery that
ranges from quietly conversational to
loud, damning testimonial. Growing
Pains is his third solo LP, and continues
his rich storytelling developed on “Pinky’s
Laundromat” but also steps up the
Bravado and self-confidence with lighter,
radio-friendly tracks such as “Any Time”,
“Smoke Em If You Got Em” and “Gimme
a Minute”
