The bedroom project of Matt Whiteford, along with various members and collaborators, has taken the hearts of listeners, making waves out of the DIY music scene and onto the stage with acts like Alison's Halo, Clarion, Slow Crush, and Blackwater Holylight, among others. Early singles and EPs (2020-2021) showcase raw and real bedroom recordings with DIY cassette tapes, CDs, and T-shirts being shipped across the globe. Their debut LP, Join the Circus (2023), was created by collaborating with former band members and mix engineer Jeff Zeigler. Standout tracks like “Hollywood Daydream,” “Drifting,” and “Up” helped solidify the band within their niche. In 2025 the LP, Slow Motion was released to critical acclaim with standout tracks like “Numb the Pain,” “Glue,” “Solitaire,” “Seeing Stars,” and “Mesmerized” gaining the attention of Spotify and Apple Music editorial teams, as well as notable publications The colour wheel EP (2026) is a collection of songs created by Cigarettes for Breakfast's founder Matt Whiteford, over the course of 3 years. Pulling inspiration from the greats like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and Ringo Deathstarr, colour wheel washes over you with pulsing, soaring guitars that bend and swirl into oblivion. The colour wheel EP was released on vinyl, CD and cassette and all streaming platforms on March 24th, 2026, via Abandon Everything Records and The Upstate Sound. “Cigarettes for Breakfast...seems to take up the ideas of the very first (and then still fresh) The Jesus and Mary Chain in search of the perfect love song… from outer space.” - 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬 — 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞. “This project has the potential to go incredibly far — beyond the walls of local, underground venues.” - 𝐊𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐨 — 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐍𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐞. https://www.cigarettesforbreakfast.com/links **𝐋𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐳𝐞:** Swirling guitars and cascading drums, combined with a strong stance on cis and non-cis genders and sexualities, have made Cambridge quartet Lemondaze one of the most intriguing and exciting bands to emerge from the U.K. underground. Thanks to a hushed female vocal layered over a distorted backdrop that has been likened to artists ranging from Deftones to My Bloody Valentine, the band is now exploring a heavier side of shoegaze, introducing elements of post-rock and breakbeat. Powerful and melodic, epic and dreamy... these soundscapes send me spinning back to the 90s shoey heyday- plus Lemondaze totally rock it live” - 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐢 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐢 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐤𝐚 I was lucky enough to catch a Lemondaze gig, and they are one of my favourite upcoming bands!” - 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐞 https://linktr.ee/Lemondaze **𝐖𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐔𝐒):** Olympia Washington’s Waves Crashing channels the iconic sounds of the ’80s and ’90s into something fresh and electrifying; pairing lush, atmospheric soundscapes with melodic hooks. Since their first EP in 2021, they’ve become a fixture of the Pacific Northwest alternative scene through a steady stream of releases and regional touring. They’ve shared the stage with Bully, Wavves, Ringo Deathstarr, Cloakroom, Sun Atoms, The Veldt, Cigarettes For Breakfast, MOAA, and Flyingfish, and appeared at key regional events including West Seattle Summer Fest, South Sound Block Party, LoveOly Summer Fest, Dreamgaze PDX, Tremolo Fest, Seagaze, Band in Seattle, Magnuson Park Live, Fisherman’s Village, Kalamashoegazer, and Festival of Dark Arts.
