DRUG CHURCH – Announce New Album “Prude” Out On October 4th Via Pure Noise Records; Share New Single/Video “Demolition Man”

Drug Church have returned! Today, punk’s most beloved agitators are announcing their new album, “PRUDE”, due out October 4th from Pure Noise Records. 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. 

“PRUDE” 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.

Drug Church are celebrating the announcement of “PRUDE” by sharing its first single, “Demolition Man,” alongside a music video starring the one and only Biff Wiff, known for his work in “I Think You Should Leave, Everything Everywhere All At Once”, and more. It’s a towering cut of furiously catchy melodies that applies frontman Patrick Kindlon‘s signature sardonic lyricism to the question: what is the purpose of humankind? “A song about envying dogs because they know what they’ve gotta do each day,” he explains. “I’m sure dogs are often confused, but they always have the north star of instinct. People live without it.”

“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.
