Cliched Ciggy Smoker, is the brand new single from Dublin Indie rockers, Plastic Cowboys

The song merges Britpop and punk together and possess brilliant harmonies, intertwined with gritty guitar riffs, a rumbling bass line and thunderous drumming. It really is a great track and showcases a band prepared to push themselves in the studio and not just settle for the status quo.

“In Your Hour of Sweet and Sour, Lemon Haze, Melting grass, Are you over girls and their looks”

The song highlights an important subject; a subject that many would not tackle. 

As Ciaran explains, “Cliched Ciggy Smoker is about my feelings towards incel culture and, and the delusion, misogyny and hypocrisy that can be found within it. This culture surrounds itself with self-victimhood fuelled by the notion that womens only purpose in life is to be a commodity for men, and because their stocks are empty, it is to the fault of half the population of the world rather than their own insecurities and flaws.” 

Following on from the release of Splinter earlier in the year (amassing nearly 25k streams on Spotify), Cliched Ciggy Smoker was written during the bands latest writing and recording sessions, which proved particularly fruitful, resulting in this track and other songs that are set to be released later in the year.  

Most of this work was done in their home studio which they set up during covid to record all guitar and bass before restrictions were eased allowing them to record the drums at Daylight studios.

​The track was mixed in Wavefarm Productions with Kevin Brennan who has worked with the band since the beginning helping them to hone their ever evolving sound.

Cliched Ciggy Smoker is set for release on Friday 9th July and can be pre-saved here.
