Today, NYC-bred rockers Nicotine Dolls announce their self-titled sophomore album, out October 23 via BMG. Co-produced by frontman Sam Cieri and renowned hitmaker Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne), Nicotine Dolls pairs blown-out guitars, pummeling rhythms, and electrifying vocals with fearless songwriting, capturing the explosive chemistry between Cieri, guitarist John Newsome and drummer Abel Tabares.
Out today is lead single “Enemy,” a galvanizing refusal to bear responsibility for someone else’s self-destruction, channeling a cathartic fury by way of its barrage of blistering riffs. “‘Enemy’ came from being blamed by one of my best friends for choices he made that blew up his own life,” says Cieri. “I’d never written a f*ck-you song before, but that’s exactly what it is. A lot of this record was about confronting things I’d allowed myself to become a victim to, and finally calling them out.”
The band will perform at Blue Stone Arts & Music Festival in Sandy Springs, GA on September 25 before embarking on a UK/EU tour this October:
