NO CIGAR is on a winning streak with the release of their new indie-rock anthem, ‘Problem’.
A blend of jangly guitar and infectious riffs, with a driving beat and laid-back vibe, ‘Problem’ captures the NZ rockers in their element and hints at some exciting plans on the horizon.
‘Problem’ and the band’s December single ‘Chantilly’ were both written on a writing trip to France, providing a raw and intimate window into life on the road and the challenges faced: “If everything you touch turns to ash, should you still pluck the flower when it’s in bloom?”
‘Problem’ finds NO CIGAR in their most cruisy state and is a highly recommended listen when driving, out for a walk, sitting on a bus or train or meeting a friend for a drink. “It’s a versatile song, with a beautiful journey. Much like we had when writing it,” says the band.
Expect a video for ‘Problem’ in the coming weeks, with the band teasing A Clockwork Orange influences. Keep your eyes peeled on the band’s social media channels for this.
Fans of NO CIGAR will also be delighted with news that after a gruelling touring schedule in Europe last year, they’re bringing their critically-acclaimed live show home for a run of shows in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. Tickets are on sale now from www.nocigar.co.nz
