MY SMOKING FRIENDS’
Out Now

Melbourne-based multi-talented artist, performer and lyricist ALLDAY (born Tom Gaynor) today shares new album Drinking With My Smoking Friends, out now via Allday Music/Believe, listen HERE.
An unexpected shift in direction, Drinking With My Smoking Friends heralds a new era for Allday. On his fourth studio record, Gaynor is looking back on times and emotions that have only recently arrived in his rearview mirror. The album captures evocative snippets of life from the “extended youth” he found himself experiencing after living in Los Angeles for a number of years.

Blending influences from the music he grew up on — from Echo and The Bunnymen and The Cure to the stalwarts of Britpop: Stone Roses, Oasis and The Verve — with more open, sentimental melodies, Gaynor has embraced his pop sensibilities like never before. It’s nostalgia-soaked and collab-heavy: Gab Strum (aka Japanese Wallpaper), Johnny Took and Matt Mason (DMA’s), Simon Lam (KLLO), Hayley Mary and Joji Malani, (ex-Gang of Youths), and others, all added to the record bringing fresh perspective and a trove of skills and experience.
After writing mostly autobiographically in the past, Gaynor’s new influences have also provided implicit permission to zoom out and keep the details hazy. Across DWMSF, he charts the story of two lovers, a kind of disillusioned Bonnie and Clyde, hellbent on fleeing a dead-end town with stars in their eyes. His polished songwriting, vocals and powerful lyricism are at the core. Previous cuts ‘Stolen Cars’, ‘Void’ and ‘After All This Time’ all premiered via triple j. His new sound has won immediate acclaim both at home and around the world from the likes of Rolling Stone, NME, The Line of Best Fit and CLASH while also earning plaudits from his passionate, cult-like following.
This August will see Allday will lap the country in support of Drinking With My Smoking Friends. He will play venues in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. Dates and venues listed below, and tickets available to purchase now via alldaytunes.com

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
