Nicotine Dolls

Nicotine Dolls make the kind of music you can’t hide from. The storytelling is front-and-center, beckoning your attention like a dusty old novel you can’t put down until the last page. The vocals are gritty and honest, holding nothing back in fits of joy, regret, and safeness similar to a phone call from one of your best friends at 3am. The instrumentation is equally punchy and nuanced, grafting rafter-reaching hooks on top of rich soundscapes. The moment the New York alternative quartet– Sam Cieri [vocals], John Hays [guitar], John Merritt [bass], and Abel Tabares [drums]– plug in, it’s as if a rush of collective emotion floods through the speakers.

Nicotine Dolls have released a series of self-penned and produced singles and EPs, including the 2024 live EP Nicotine Dolls on Audiotree Live. Impressively, they attracted north of 1.7 million followers on TikTok, and nearly 900k on Instagram as well.

Nicotine Dolls debut full length album (set for early 2025) is already gaining attention.
