Cigarettes for Breakfast, a shoegaze/dream pop band hailing from Philadelphia, crafts dense soundscapes and raw, emotive, fuzzed-out performances. Known for their ability to channel the moody magic of shoegaze legends like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, they deliver a blend of haze and heartache that’s both nostalgic and fresh. Their live shows are a whirlwind of emotion and energy, capturing the gritty essence of their genre while adding their unique twist – with every chord drenched in reverb, and every lyric tinged with longing.
The brainchild of Matt Whiteford, with a rotating roster of members and collaborators, has grabbed listeners’ hearts, shifting from the DIY music scene to sharing stages with Slow Crush, The Asteroid No. 4, and Day Aches. After several EPs and singles, Cigarettes for Breakfast released a debut LP, Join the Circus in 2023, showcasing their knack for exploring love, loss, and self-discovery, taking listeners on a wild ride through raw emotions.
Cigarettes For Breakfast is currently working on their second full-length album, Slow Motion, which is set to be released in February of 2025.
