With Dylan Marcheschi&#8217;s guitar providing the hooky rhythms, Ben Grubin underscoring on bass and Alex Beckmann keeping the beat, &#8216;Caffeine &amp; Nicotine&#8217; was released on Septemer 8.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Caffeine &amp; Nicotine&#8217; is out via Happy Hound records, with &#8216;Sin Cider&#8217; set for release later this year.
