Drug Church Share New Single, "Chow"

 

Drug Church are back and better than ever! Punk's most beloved agitators recently announced their new album, "PRUDE" (due out October 4th from Pure Noise Records), and today they're sharing another towering new single, "Chow".

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.

Lead single "Demolition Man" drew attention from the likes of The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Revolver Magazine, and many more, and "Chow" keeps quality up, this time leaning further into Drug Church's melodic side. The single arrives alongside an in-depth interview over on Rolling Stone, who praised the band.

"PRUDE" follows 2022's "Hygiene", an album that drew praise from the likes of Pitchfork, NPR, The FADER, and Rolling Stone, landed on year-end lists from Vogue, Stereogum, SPIN, BrooklynVegan, Revolver, Bandcamp, and many more), and catapulted Drug Church from cult favorites to the ranks of the most exciting up-and-coming bands in aggressive music. Recorded/produced by longtime collaborator, Jon Markson, "PRUDE" not only meets the extremely high bar set by Drug Church's previous work, it manages to exceed it. Never content to rest on their laurels, the band have pushed their key elements - eye-popping aggression, bulletproof melodies, and incisive lyrics - to even greater heights, and discovered more than a few new tricks along the way. There's only one band that sounds like Drug Church, and thankfully they're extremely good at being themselves.
