Despite leaving D.R.U.G.S. back in April, Matt Good, Nick Martin, and Aaron Stern are working on new music together, alongside bassist Adam Russell. Good posted an update to his Twitter, but didn’t say whether they’d be using the D.R.U.G.S. name again or something else altogether.
When we hear more we’ll let you know.
D.R.U.G.S. released their self-titled debut in February 2011 on Sire Records. Craig Owens announced in April that he had re-joined his old band, Chiodos.
When the sun’s out and I’m feeling carefree I love my ska and pop-punk. When I’m feeling nostalgic and wistful I skew towards Menzingers or emo. When I’ve had three cups of coffee and need an outlet for the nebulous discontentment that silently builds behind the exterior of my stoic demeanor I turn towards hardcore-punk. That’s where I’m at this morning so when a request to check out the debut album from Californian skate-punk/hardcore act Facelift hit my inbox it was perfectly timed. This music is raw. It’s fast as hell. And it’s f’ing pissed off. Oh, and it’s riddled with metallic riff breakdowns which absolutely clinched it for me (give it 2:20 into the album opener to see what I mean). Turn up the volume and let off some steam with me by streaming “Sinceforevertilwhenever” here.
