Cigarettes for Breakfast was founded by Matthew Whiteford in the winter of 2019 in Philadelphia, PA. Mainly inspired by ’90s alternative bands, such as My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Ride, Cigarettes for Breakfast exhibits classic shoegaze elements, including a plethora of effects, intricate pedal-work and washy, droning guitars. The majority of the instrumentation is self-recorded and performed by Whiteford with the full band consisting of Matt Whiteford, Tony Rossi, Donnie CoCo, Chris Doyle, and Cameron Kynett.
