Cigarest is the brainchild of Evan Rogers, Beanie-Del Meadows, and John Benton. Hailing from diverse backgrounds, this trio was founded in Tennessee, to craft a distinctive blend of indie-rock, surf-rock, and punk music. Their unconventional style merges the best of their varied influences, creating a sound that is both fresh and innovative. Cigarest stands out in the music scene with their unique approach and creative synergy, making waves and capturing hearts with every performance.

One of the highlights of their journey includes playing a show in a barn they built into a stage with their bare hands. This DIY spirit and dedication to their craft are at the core of Cigarest’s identity. Their live performances are known for their raw energy and authenticity, making every show a memorable experience for their audience.

Beanie-Del Meadows brings influences from post-hardcore and grunge, adding an edge and intensity to their music. Evan Rogers, on the other hand, is inspired by surf rock and indie rock, infusing their sound with a laid-back yet vibrant vibe. John Benton rounds out the trio with his love for southern rock and metal, contributing a powerful and gritty dimension to their music. Together, they create a dynamic and eclectic sound that is unmistakably Cigarest.

Their debut album tells the gripping story of accidental murders who are on the run from the law, trying to clear their names before time runs out. The narrative is a thrilling race against the clock: will they uncover the truth before the law catches up to them, or will they end up in the slammer? This compelling storyline, combined with their diverse musical influences, makes their debut album a must-listen.
