Kleveland
''melting hearts & faces everywhere''
Kleveland’s self-titled debut soars melodically with rich rock ''n'' roll that cherishes guitar noise as much as a meaty rhythm section. A pounding, fierce brand of rock that is as much Cheap Trick-influenced as it is Joan Jett, AC/DC, and early 90s guitar-rock. It rings true to the old and the new, a genuinely fearless rock record.

"Stephanie Smith led Kleveland into a crashing surge of Blondie-esque mini anthems. Smith''s sandpaper-on-velvet vocal surges have never come across better or stronger, particularly on the fiery and fun new cut "Johnny Is a Klepto." Strumming in a black tank top, she''s a ringer for Joan Jett, but Smith has a sound of her own, making her both archetype and idol on a night pumped full of necessary noise.
--The Oregonian
“Kleveland’s kickass Everybody Wants to EP sounds like the Donna’s- if the Donnas were twice as catchy…. A must-see show for fans of rowdy punk and power pop.”
--The Portland Mercury
“She’s got a big mouth, pretty and rude, just like her songs.”
--Falling James, L.A. Weekly
“Kleveland succeeds where so many have fallen short, crafting infectious guitar pop barbed with punk energy” --Willamette Week
“This hard-rocking, hard-knocking abrasive power trio blasts out the noise with plenty of melody and sweet hooks”
--Music Millennium
“Referencing everyone from Iggy Pop to Blondie to the Kinks, Kleveland stunned onlookers with walls of sounds and pounds of rockstar panache.
--Oregonian
“Proceedings begin with P-town’s own Kleveland, a trio of kick-ass local heroes lead by guitarist/singer Stephanie Smith, the sort of girl Iggy Pop wishes he was—spastic, unpredictable, completely given over to the noise.” --The Portland Mercury
