SMOKER

Spawning from Stephen Paul Smoker’s solo recordings, SMOKER is a 5piece psych outfit born inside the sweaty depths of Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood. Their debut EP "Violent Sun / Violent Fun" was released in 2010 followed by extensive touring that helped shaped the band’s personality and sound. Their first LP, "Ripe Fruit", was released in 2012 on clear vinyl from Kilo Records. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, SMOKER independently released their next record, STRANGE WAYS in Sept. 2013. One year later, we are BACK to new releases with a year-long project called MONCHU - which will see the release of 24 new recordings, 2 per month for 12 months. This project is being released for FREE download and streaming via our Bandcamp page and Soundcloud. So, Enjoy! Back in Chicago after last year's sabatical in Knoxville, TN, we are excited to see what the future has in store. Stay tuned! Psychedelic Rock n' Roll - Chicago, IL.
