The Smyrk is a band from New Haven, Connecticut. The members are Doron Flake, Alex Marans, Ari Sadowitz and Chris Barone.

They formed in 2003, when singer Doron Flake joined up with instrumental trio of guitarist/bassists Nick Logan and Ari Sadowitz, along with drummer Chris Barone, who had been playing the Connecticut club circuit under the name “Canine Smirk”.

The Smyrk announced their breakup on July 21st, 2008, with a final show on July 29th. In January 2009, The Smyrk announced its reformation with its newest member, Alex Marans. He plays keys, bass and sings.

Monsters on Maple Street the bands debut EP was produced with Eric Rachel (Saves the Day, Dillinger Escape Plan) and mastered by Alan Douches (Thrice, Run DMC) at West West Side Music. The self-released record garnered praise from sources such as AbsolutePunk.net.
After circulating around the internet and the Northeast playing over 300 shows, Monsters on Maple Street caught the ear of Incubus bassist and former Roots guitarist Ben Kenney. The band then set out on tour, performing across the country and back, including performing in Los Angeles for Kenny, who invited them to record at his home in August 2006. Monsters on Maple Street was picked up for distribution by Mr. Kenney’s label, Ghetto Crush, and quickly became a top seller on the label’s website.
The Smyrk traveled to Los Angeles in August, 2006 to record six new tracks for the album New Fiction. This album was recorded over a month in Mr. Kenney’s home studio.
