Although NICOTINE PRETTY released two singles before, "Real Life Glories" is their debut EP (co-produced by Glunk Records.) Opening song "ByGone Boy" offers us some fine glam punk rock'n'roll reminding a bit of early MANIC STREET PREACHERS while "This Ship Ain't Going Down" show us the snotty street punk side of NICOTINE PRETTY. The band... Continue Reading →
