Interview: Alt Rock Nicotine Dolls Talk New EP

Sam’s unique vision works on the “reader” as a story unfolds, drawing you in to a tortured mind, while constantly changing scenarios; this world of self doubt, confusion and paranoia acts like a vortex which penetrates his vocal layers not only making you hear but feel that this content is burgeoning in to a new genre which borders on therapeutic music, not unlike Teddy Swims.

Thank you for really seeing Sam and the band. These are the most insightful questions about the songwriting and arranging I’ve come across. I hope in the near future they receive a deep dive , comprehensive article. They wear their hearts on their sleeves, are determined to have an open bond with each other and with fans, and in the process have offered us all a safe place to be fully ourselves.

Mr Garcia you encapsulated the ND vibe beautifully in this article. I first heard Sam sing a Journey song, immediately sending me into the social media wormhole of WHO IS THAT !! Since, I have been embraced by the band and fellow “dolls” ( fans ) in kind. An amazing community fueled by the Nicotine Dolls’ embodiment of talent that seamlessly expresses many emotions that mirror my personal experiences. Amazeballs article sir 😊

Absolutely love them. It was like being with family at their concert. I can not wait to watch them grow and sell out stadiums. Can’t wait for the next concert. <33

I absolutely love his voice and his depth with the lyrics. I just heard it today while scrolling.
