Drug Church are back and more relentless than ever. The punk rock troublemakers are gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated new album, PRUDE (out October 4th via Pure Noise Records), and they’ve just dropped another hard-hitting single, “Slide 2 Me.”
For over a decade Drug Church have been building a strong case that they’re the best loud guitar band in the game, and PRUDE feels like it just might be the undeniable proof. The album is a lean 28 minutes of hardcore aggression and ’90s alternative hooks that’s bursting at the seams with personality, irreverence, and heart. It’s a record that’s so instantly satisfying that it almost belies what a unexpected feat it is for a prickly, hard-to-pigeonhole punk band from Albany, NY to become one of the most consistently crowd-pleasing outfits on planet earth.
Early singles “Demolition Man” and “Chow” drew attention from the likes of The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and many more, and “Slide 2 Me” ups the ante even further. Within the first 30 seconds you might find yourself thinking that this is the most downright catchy song Drug Church have ever written (which is really saying something for a band who truly excel at writing catchy songs), and you might be right.
