What We Get is the sludgy and grungey third single from Brexit defying Grit rockers Soul Gazer and has already hit national radio airwaves in the UK courtesy of new music guru John Kennedy at Radio X. It follows in the thunderous footsteps of debut singles W.A.R and Made For This that saw the band amass 2.5k monthly Spotify listeners and over 250 Spotify playlist adds, land on the Amazing Radio A-List playlist, amass critical acclaim from BBC Introducing and have landed themselves directly onto Dr. Martens prestigious in store playlists across Europe.
The song is a brooding, dark and rebellious force to be reckoned with. It embodies the band's never say die spirit and camaraderie. Despite being spread across Europe and living 1500 miles apart in Liverpool, Hamburg and Zürich, Soul Gazer refuse to accept What We Get and the heavy Alice In Chains inspired riffage is relentless and gripping.
The band have opened for the mighty Wunderhorse in Germany and have been heaped with praise for their raucous and powerful live show. Action packed with energy, spirit and the charismatic confidence and swagger that has defined many great northern British guitar bands before them. Crafted in the North of England but sprinkled with an adventurous European flavour its easy to see why Soul Gazer excite.
What We Get was produced at Liverpool's Kempston Street Studios by Chris Taylor (Miles Kane, The Coral, Blossoms) and mastered by Brian Lucey at LA's Magic Garden Mastering (Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys, Blondie).
"It takes a certain kind of person to be willing to rip away all the safety nets you have in life, plonk yourself in another country where you don't know anyone and don't even speak the language and just figure it out as you go. That's a shared experience we all have in this band. And it's that special bond and understanding we have with each other that makes us so determined to make this work despite all the obstacles we are up against with Brexit etc. It just drives us on to push even harder, and when we do get in a room together with our instruments, none of that s*** matters any more. We just feel invincible." - Soul Gazer
"Heavy Gear this! Reminds me of early Tame Impala or Flaming Lips!" - Mike Joyce (The Smiths)
"These guys rock! Evil energy, just the way we like it!" Dennis Dunaway & Neal Smith (Alice Cooper Group)

Ihre Songs sind SCHNELL, LAUT und voller WUT - aber auch EASY tanzbar.
In vielerlei Hinsicht sind DIE CIGARETTEN wie eine Mischung aus einigen der größten Rockbands aller Zeiten.
Sie haben die rohe Kraft von Nirvana, die eingängigen HOOKS der Beatles, den NOISE von Sonic Youth und den SWAGGER von Oasis. Aber sie bringen auch etwas Neues auf den Tisch, mit einem Sound, der einzigartig ist. Textlich sprechen DIE CIGARETTEN auch schwierige Themen wie psychische Gesundheit und DROGEN an. Aber sie tun das alles mit einem Sinn für Humor und STYLE. Wenn du also auf der Suche nach einer ENERGIEGELADENEN Alternative PUNK BAND bist, die dich umhaut und dir das Gefühl gibt, lebendig zu sein, dann solltest du dir Die Cigaretten anhören. Die wohl beste Cybergrunge Band der neuen Generation hat schon in einigen der vibeigsten Städte der Welt gespielt. NEW YORK, Berlin, Prag, Wien. Fusion Festival, Reeperbahn Festival, Musikexpress – für manche zählen DIE CIGARETTEN jetzt schon zu den TOP 10 der besten Bands Deutschlands. Vor allem LIVE – sind sie doch immer noch ein kleines GEHEIMNIS.
