Two years after the release of their first album and many concerts later, We the Kings are back with their second full-length album titled Smile Kid.

We the Kings didn't leave their fans hanging during all the touring — they had their own miniature series of Webisodes, called The King's Carriage, detailing life on their tour bus.

Many remember the songs that made them famous, "Check Yes Juliet," "Skyway Avenue" and "Secret Valentine" from their self-titled We the Kings album— which had a few songs reach the Billboard Hot 100; and fans can expect more of the same quality music.

With singles like "Heaven Can Wait," We the Kings remind us of the love-sick guys they are with lyrics like, "Lay your heart next to mine, I feel so alive, tell me you want me to stay forever 'cause heaven can wait."

Also in this album, the band sings an ode to the city that made them famous — Los Angeles — in the song "In-N-Out."

For We the Kings fans, I recommend this album be the next album on your to-buy list. But, I also recommend this to anyone who needs a good pick-me-up, because this album give you the up-beat, get-up-and-dance music everyone needs.
