100 Watt Smile was an eclectic grunge-styled band with country influences that was founded in 1994 by Carrie and drummer Michael Hart. The lineup expanded to include Matt Stahl on guitar and Brad Pedinoff on bass, who were later replaced by Scotts Greiner and Houston on guitar and bass.
The band provided a vehicle for the quirky songwriting that Bradley was known for during her days with Ed's Redeeming Qualities, with her quiet, breathy vocals and signature violin work juxtaposed against heavy electric guitar and bass and driving percussion.
And Reason Flew begins with an updated version of Bradley's haunting song New Jersey, which first appeared on the Ed's Redeeming Qualities album Big Grapefruit Cleanup Job. The band followed up with a second, eponymous album in 2001.
