The Cigarettes

The Cigarettes were a punk band that formed in the late 1970s in Lincolnshire, England. They were part of the first wave of British punk and are best known for their raw sound and energetic performances. Despite their relatively short career, The Cigarettes gained a cult following with their single "You Were So Young," which has since become a classic track within the punk genre. The band's music was characterized by its directness, catchy hooks, and political undertones, which were common themes in the punk movement of that era. Although they did not achieve significant commercial success during their active years, The Cigarettes have been recognized posthumously for their contributions to the punk scene and their influence on later generations of musicians.
