TOBACCO’s sound is ever changing but can be described as dirty, sweaty, hairy, loud, violent, sexy, grimey, explosive goodness. Every track seems to be as alien as human existence playing on every emotion in the spectrum. Lipstick Destroyer pulls and rips and gnaws and tears at you leaving your brain exhausted but your ears wanting more. It comes off with almost an innate sexiness that only your id can explain.
You can find Lipstick Destroyer on Ultima II Massage, TOBACCO’s latest album, released in May 2014.

The Late Night Crunch
Purchase Late Night with Mike Cronin was not only one of the most watched shows on Purchase Television but was so popular it got it's own sandwich in the Food Court on campus. Aptly named The Late Night Crunch, the sandwich gained fame for it's savory chicken cutlet topped with potato chips. Our first commission, this commercial aired on Purchase Late Night's first commercial break of the 2013-2014 season and improved all sandwich sales dramatically.

The Basement: A Documentary About Music (dir. Andrew Rivera, 2013)
Saint Joseph's School, a second chance Catholic elementary school in located in the South Bronx, is home to students of all different backgrounds but the one thing they have in common is their entry into the music program when they reach the fifth grade. The music program becomes a way for underprivileged youth to not only learn how to read music and play an instrument but helps them channel their creativity when no other school would let them. Filmed on location at St. Joseph's School, this documentary was screened at a benefit concert seeking to raise money to help the music program grow and was a personal delight to film as I attended the school myself as a child.

If you've heard any tasty jams by artist Wavves then chances are you might've heard of Sweet Valley. A duo formed in California by Wavves' front man Nathan Williams and his brother, Kynan Williams, Sweet Valley is pretty much a nostalgia machine. The music is mostly beats and takes samples from anything cool you can remember from the last two decades including Tim Burton's Batman (featured in this song), the Legend of Zelda Soundtrack and even some Nirvana thrown in there. This track, "Stone," comes off as proud and triumphant, with the modesty of a monastery of singing monks trying desperately to understand modern technology. You can find it on "Eternal Champ" which was released in September of 2012.

King Krule. The dude speaks for himself. Born Archy Marshall in England the King has experienced a lot of trouble in his childhood which he's channeled in a lot of his music. Enter: Baby Blue. The meat of the track is resonant and introspective tackling the idea of love and it's absence while it's skeleton is very bare bones surf rock. And don't even get us started on that voice. It's not only unique but RAW. It holds your hand through the song and as it progresses you begin to feel what he feels and it's so genuine it's scary. You can find this song as well as some of his other haunting melodies on his album "6 Feet Beneath The Moon" released in Summer 2013.

Com Truise is the voice of God if God could only communicate musically through DOS machines and dusty synthesizers. His songs range from docile soundscapes to shattering electronic gospel. This song, Mind, is off of his latest EP titled "Wave 1" which was released in early 2014 and evokes the sensation of subtle emptiness in it's silence which pairs well with it's sporadic explosions of synthy goodness to keep your ears company.

Black Moth Super Rainbow sounds a lot like a junkyard that learned how to play music due to exposure to fairy dust. Frontman Thomas Fec a.k.a. TOBACCO has been evolving this sound for years and has a multitude of other projects in his solo work and collaborations like Demon Queen with Zackey Force Funk. This track, Seeeds, is off of Start A People, one of BMSR's first albums and is one of their most beautiful tracks, effectively capturing the feeling of pain born from joy.
