Smokescreens came together over a shared love for the Flying Nun scene of the 1980’s. And "Someone New," their latest single, is representative of that sound – there’s the driving rhythm section, the circling guitar leads, and the tuneful chorus you can’t forget for days. The four-piece may have dutifully done their homework, but there’s no mimicry involved, as they make use of a classic pop sensibility that sounds as fresh as when The Clean shouted, "Tally Ho!"
"Someone New" is the latest single off of Smokescreens’ forthcoming debut LP, Used to Yesterday, which is out on July 13 via Slumberland. Check them out on any of the following LA tour dates:
06/09 – Redwood Bar
