Smoke Screen – 2014

Posted on April 8, 2022 by Smoke Screen
In 2014 we continued touring and releasing music as Smoke Noises. We released the “Make It To A Dollar” EP accompanied by a music video for the title track shot by Brandon Andersen and performed countless shows, including New York Fashion week with RVAH. The lone Smoke Screen release was the single ‘Barry Blanco’ produced by The Kickdrums which we made with them on one of our trips to New York. The cover art is by Cleveland Artist John G and Roderick Jackson filmed the music video. Check out the highlights from the year featuring ‘Barry Blanco’.

Smoke Screen – 2013

Posted on April 7, 2022 by Smoke Screen
2013 was a little bit of a departure from previous years. We joined forces with indie label Alloy-X at the beginning of the year and released the “Turquoise” EP produced by Connor Musarra. We released the stand alone Smoke Screen single ‘You Gets No Love’ produced by Swarthy Soul aka Walter-1dr and the song/video ‘Backwards Logic’ with Broccoli Samurai. What was originally just a one off collaboration with Ghost Noises from the Alloy-X Vol. 1 Compilation (the song ‘Oops All Berries’) turned into a full fledged group for the next few years. We released 2 Music Videos for ‘2000 Pounds’ (by Turnstyle Films) and ‘Snakes On A Plane’, both from the full length “Smoke Noises” LP which was released at the end of the year. This clip features ‘You Gets No Love’.
