Smoke Screen – 2017

Posted on April 11, 2022 by Smoke Screen
2017 was a return to form for us as a group. That year being the 10 Year Anniversary of our first release, we hit the studio and set out to release a new project. The result was our 3rd full length album, the 10 track offering “Return To The Sun”. It featured the single ‘Breakbeats And Bass’ which was paired with a Turnstyle Films music video and cover art by Chad Fedorovich. We did countless shows, radio interviews and more throughout the year to support the release. This highlight clip features the “Return” track ‘The Show’ produced by Connor Musarra.

Smoke Screen – 2016

Posted on April 10, 2022 by Smoke Screen
2016 was a relatively understated year for us release-wise, as our only release was the 2 track “Gasso” EP at the very end of the year. The EP featured RA Washington and Broken Keys produced versions of the song ‘Gasso’. We did however play a good amount of Smoke Screen and Smoke Noises shows throughout the year. This highlight clip features the Broken Keys produced ‘Gasso’.

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’.
