Smokers Die Younger

Smokers Die Younger are four young Sheffield eccentrics (and one old curmudgeon) who write energetic and thoughtful post-rock-pop about drunkenness, alienation, frogs and driving lessons.

Smokers Die Younger's previous single SDY, released on Detail Records, was warmly received, achieving Single Of the Week at Piccadilly Records and radio play on 6Music.

Sheffield is a happening place at the moment. This is a fact to which Smokers Die Younger are entirely indifferent.»
