Tobacco: Hot, Wet & Sassy

By Holly Hazelwood
November 4, 2020
in :  Music, Music Reviews

Hot, Wet & Sassy is a perfectly passable, but not groundbreaking, glimpse into Tobacco’s warped mind.

Concert Review: Tobacco

By Holly Hazelwood
January 21, 2020
in :  Concert Reviews, Music, Music Features

The sound made by Tobacco comes from a similar place, though his albums suggest the dark, corrupted, and fucked up urges that spawned from a pile of Moogs and mescaline found in the woods outside Pittsburgh.

Tobacco: Ultima II Massage

By Derek Staples
June 2, 2014
in :  Music, Music Reviews

[xrr rating=3.5/5]Hailing from the Pittsburgh area, Thomas Fec (aka Tobacco) spent his childhood in a region that created beauty from the remains of an industrial downturn.

Tobacco said of his work and Meat, in particular, that he’s trying to create a soundtrack of sorts for the bizarre imagery one can …

Tobacco: Maniac Meat

By Brady Baker
July 18, 2010
in :  Music, Music Reviews

Tobacco Maniac Meat Rating: 3.0/5.0 Label: Anticon On the heels of last year’s Eating Us, Black Moth Super Rainbow’s most divisive record to date, the band’s enigmatic frontman, Tom Fec, has funneled a sophomore sonic assault through his carcinogenic alter-ego, Tobacco. Maniac Meat is a snarling murk of fuzzy vocoder, trashy analog synth, big beat and broken guitar that expands …
