Nicotine Dolls formed in New York City (Summer 2017) by Singer Sam Cieri and Guitarist John Hays, with John Merritt (Bass) and Abel Tabares (Drums) joining shortly after. The band has released a string of singles including "The Madness" and "Burning a Good Thing" throughout 2019, along with self produced music videos. The band prides itself on there raw live shows. Nicotine dolls are the ones who stand outside smoking all night because they are too afraid to go inside but can't bring themselves to leave.
