Their follow-up album Girl Crushes Boy was released November 24, 1998, under Cargo and Headhunter. Following the release of the album, Smile toured with the band Inch. The first single from their album was 'Staring at the Sun', which received airplay on the radio, and charted on College Music Journal's Metal chart in November 1995. On JAtlantic reissued the album Maquee, which had originally been released by Headhunter the previous year, September 1994. In 2003, Michael Rosas broke up the band. In 2001, Scott Reeder left the band to join Fu Manchu and was replaced by Matt's brother, James Fletcher on drums. In 1999, the band added keyboardist Matt Fletcher. In 1998, original band member, Aaron Sonnenberg left and was replaced by Bob Thomson on bass. They signed under Headhunter, a San Diego-based label, and Atlantic in 1994, but left Atlantic during the recording sessions of their second album, due to a growing resistance the band felt towards the label. Some of their influences include The Kinks, The Melvins, early Pink Floyd, and The Seeds. The style of music of Smile has been described as 'rage-filled rock' with 'scraping guitars and screaming vocals'.

Smile did not emerge from Orange County until 1995, from the success of their album Maquee. Encompassing genres of both grunge and psychedelic rock, they released their second record, called Resin. After placing an advertisement in the Recycler for a drummer, they found Reeder, which completed the band's lineup for the next seven years as a trio. Rosas and Sonnenberg, who were both attending Woodbridge High School, formed Smile in 1992. In January 2014, Scott Reeder, Michael Rosas, and Aaron Sonnenberg reunited once more to play The Casbah 25th Anniversary.
