El Creepo

El-Creepo! is the solo project of Maryland-based rock musician Todd Smith, best known for his work with the bands Dog Fashion Disco, Polkadot Cadaver, and Knives Out! In 2009, seeking a more low-key outlet for some of his songs, Smith released his debut as El-Creepo!, which featured a more acoustic approach than his other bands. He would continue to work simultaneously with both Polkadot Cadaver and Knives Out! over the next few years before returning in 2012 with El-Creepo!'s follow-up, Aloha, which he co-wrote with drummer Scott Radway. Bellissimo, his third solo release under the El-Creepo! banner, arrived in 2015. ~ Timothy Monger
