Sniff 'n' the Tears

Sniff' 'n' the Tears formed in 1978 and after releasing their first album ‘Fickle Heart’ had a worldwide hit with ‘Driver’s Seat’, which reached 15 on the billboard chart in the USA in 1979. The band toured extensively following the success of Driver’s Seat, including a two and a half month tour of the States, and performed and recorded together until 1982.

In the early nineties Driver’s Seat reached number one in Holland after being used in a car ad campaign which introduced it to a new generation and led to the band reforming for a European tour and to make another album. Hollywood films such as Boogie Nights and Anchor Man 2 as well as the series The Walking Dead have kept Driver’s Seat in the public eye, and it has become a perennial favourite loved by successive generations.

Although the band members have all been engaged with other projects in the intervening years, they have stayed in touch and continued to work together.

Singer-songwriter Paul Roberts and guitarist Les Davidson launched the Sniff'n'the Tears acoustic project with three fantastically received acoustic shows in the UK in 2018-2019. These were the first Sniff'n'the Tears live performances since 1992. The gigs were stripped back performances, opening up new creative approaches to songs new and old.

The new Sniff’n’the Tears Acoustic album 'Jump' is a continuation of that discovery. The album includes songs from previous Sniff’n’the Tears albums, ranging from 1978’s Fickle Heart with its worldwide hit Driver's Seat, to 2017’s Random Elements as well as previously unrecorded songs. A series of gigs is planned to coincide with the release of the album.
