Talon Smartt is a high-voltage rock band hailing from Boise, Idaho, led by queer/Indigenous frontman Talon Smartt. Rooted in the raw grit of 60s and 70s proto-punk, the band channels the spirit of Iggy Pop, MC5, and The Stooges, with a modern edge reminiscent of The White Stripes and Queens of the Stone Age. Known for their visceral live shows and unapologetic presence, the group features Nick Learned on drums, Miles Vink on bass, and Talon Smartt at the helm. The band previously featured guitarist Bennett Huhn, whose early contributions helped shape the group’s searing early sound. Whether on stage or in the studio, Talon Smartt is a full-force collision of defiance, heritage, and sound — a band that doesn’t ask for space, but takes it.
