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
sadness
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
officially
emerged
in
2019
at
the
crossroads
between
its
members
’
respective
paths.
As
the
sto
ry
goes,
Sam
met
John
Hays
in
2015
during
a
Broadway
tour.
“
I
ended
up
there
because
I
was
getting
evicted
from
my
apartment,
and
my
friend
told
me
to
try
musical
theater
since
you
get
a
consistent
paycheck,
”
he
recalls.
They
instantly
became
best
friends.
By
this
time,
Sam
’
s
journey
had
already
twisted
and
turned
from
“
leaving
high
school
to
be
a
musician,
living
in
motels,
playing
Las
Vegas,
going
to
South
Florida,
and
amassing
all
of
these
crazy
ass
stories.
”
Nevertheless,
his
newfound
musical
bond
wit
h
Hays
eventually
attracted
Merritt
and
Abel
to
the
fold.
The
guys
gained
traction
with
the
likes
of
“
What
Makes
You
Sad
”
which
has
received
more
than
13
million
Spotify
streams
.
The
band
’
s
cover
of
Tina
Turner
’
s
iconic
“
The
Best
”
has
surpassed
12
million
streams.
Collectively,
music
released
to
date,
is
nearing
50
million
streams
on
Spotify
alone.
Impressively,
they
attracted
north
of
1.7
million
followers
on
TikTok,
and
nearly
900k
on
as
well.
Nicotine
Dolls
have
released
a
series
of
self
-
pen
ned
and
produced
singles
and
EPs,
including
the
2024
live
EP
Nicotine
Dolls
on
Audiotree
Live.
After
signing
with
Nettwerk
Music
Group,
the
band
have
been
hailed
by
SPIN
for
their
“
vulnerability
and
determination,
”
calling
Cieri
a
“
charismatic,
gravelly
-
throated
powerhouse
with
the
rasp
of
Bruce
Springsteen
and
the
emotion
of
Lewis
Capaldi.
”
Nicotine
Dolls
debut
full
length
album
(set
for
early
2025)
is
already
gaining
serious
attention.
“
This
album
has
been
my
own
internal
attempt
to
be
OK
wi
th
wanting
to
love,
and
be
loved
in
return,
”
he
explains.
“
I
wanted
to
be
dumb
and
nervous
and
brave
and
scared
and
everything
that
you
drown
in
when
someone
looks
at
you
in
that
way
that
derails
the
whole
plan
you
had
for
your
life.
I
live
alone
with
my
d
og
and
I
’
m
not
saying
I
don
’
t
adore
that
life,
because
I
do
(my
dog
is
my
sweet
big
boy
Indiana).
But
I
miss
laughing
with
someone
in
the
kitchen
or
falling
asleep
watching
trashy
TV.
I
pride
myself
on
my
independence,
but
I
think
I
made
this
record
as
a
w
ay
to
admit
to
myself
that
having
someone
there
...
would
be
nice."
