After earning critical acclaim and global airplay with their debut, Maverick Smith wastes no time stoking the flames of their breakout year. With a reputation for blurring genre lines and building immersive sonic experiences, the band now delivers We Make Fire, They Make Smoke.

The band’s new record blends alternative rock with shades of punk, southern rock, indie folk, shoegaze, garage, and even orchestral elements — yet it never loses its throughline. It’s bold. It’s alive. And it’s all real.
