“Best Behavior: 13th Floor’s New Song of the Day”
NO CIGAR is back with a new single that is sure to captivate fans. Entitled “Best Behaviour,” this gritty and addictive track follows the success of their previous single, “Problem,” which debuted at #4 on the Hot 20 Aotearoa Singles Chart and sold out their 4-date tour in New Zealand.
“Best Behaviour” delves into the anxiety and pressure of meeting a significant other’s parents for the first time. Lead vocalist Willy Ferrier describes the track as groovy and anthemic, suggesting that it is best listened to on the way to their house. The song reflects the tension and nervousness that often accompany such moments, where the expectation to be on one’s best behavior can be overwhelming.
Written by the band with lyrics from Ferrier, “Best Behaviour” was brought to life through the engineering, production, and mixing talents of Connor Jaine and mastered by Andy Baldwin. Ferrier explains that the song’s rawness and fragility capture the essence of feeling vulnerable in such situations, emphasizing that even being an artist does not fully prepare you for these emotional moments.
This latest single is the third release from NO CIGAR’s upcoming album, following the success of their indie-rock anthem “Problem.” The band’s previous single debuted at #4 on the Hot 20 Aotearoa Singles Chart, received recognition from Rolling Stone AU / NZ, and garnered airplay from Radio Hauraki, RNZ, Bayrock, and various other stations on the SRN.
Having just completed a successful 4-date tour in New Zealand, NO CIGAR is gearing up for a series of performances in the UK and Europe in May. The tour kicks off in London, where the first show has already sold out, leading to a venue upgrade to accommodate the growing demand for tickets.
Formed in 2019, NO CIGAR has quickly gained recognition as one of the country’s most promising acts. With a unique blend of psychedelic rock and groovy guitars, the band has received critical acclaim for albums like 2023’s “THE GREAT ESCAPE,” which featured the #1 rock radio smash hit, “Concubine.” Their debut album, “BIENVENIDO,” released in 2022, and their 2020 EP “RADICAL ROAD” have further solidified their reputation as a standout musical force.
Fans can catch NO CIGAR on their upcoming UK and Europe tour dates, with performances in cities like Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Berlin.
