Vibe: "It's basically just a place to see bands play - not a bar, not a club, more like a rundown house party. The crowd is mostly young punks and hipsters. I've seen moshing and crowd surfing. There's no A/C or ventilation, so it gets very hot and sweaty."-Citysearch.com user
"The Smell has been like a vector of lesser heard musical influences, all with the punkest of ethos, and thus the New Weird Youth of L.A. do indeed sound like the most original youth I think any community has nurtured in the 25+ years since punk's heyday."-Yelp.com user
