Formed in 1991, Smoking Popes are marking the 30th anniversary of their debut album this year.
But they aren't just celebrating with something from the vaults or a new color vinyl. Instead, the band hit the studio to record two new digital singles: A cover of "Don't You Want Me," originally by Human League, and featuring Deanna Belos (Sincere Engineer) on vocals, will release in one week on June 30, followed by a new original due on July 21 called "Madison."
The band last released Into the Agony in 2018 and plans to release a new full-length in 2024.
