The Department of Tangents Interviews The Smoking Flowers

The Department of Tangents has the video for “Young and Brave” by The Smoking Flowers, and it also has an exclusive and detailed interview with the duo. The band explains the impetus behind the video, which finds them paying homage to influential rockers, rollers and country outlaws from the past. Also, the band tells the site how it feels about being compared to other husband-and-wife groups, saying that “it seems every time we put something new out, there is a new duo to compare us to.” Read it all here.

The band’s new LP, Let’s Die Together is aiming to hit a new NACC peak this week after debuting last week at #186. Get The Smoking Flowers on your charts.
