Emerging indie-pop quartet second thoughts return with the release of their infectious new single nicotine stains, out now.

second thoughts formed in late 2018 in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. They have already gained a huge social media following with over 147k followers on TikTok, over 56k followers on Instagram and over 78k followers of Spotify. Their viral TikTok videos have been the driving force for new fans and they also already have two Instagram fan accounts, discord chatrooms and meme accounts on Twitter.

Inspired by the likes of Pavement and Bombay Bicycle Club, second thoughts combine all the best elements of indie, pop and alt-rock in order to create a sound that feels instantly uplifting and engaging. Produced by The 1975’s Ross MacDonald and mixed by Iain Berryman (Wolf Alice), nicotine stains is a song about having known someone for a while and their personality slowly changing from who they used to be as a result of addiction.With a newly solidified line-up, nicotine stains displays a more advanced sound for the quartet, moving towards a more nineties alt-rock energy.
