We hope you can join us on Friday, October 4th at 5:00 PM when we host Drug Church in the record store for an intimate performance and album signing to celebrate the release of their new album Prude. Due out that same day by Pure Noise Records, Prude is the band’s 5th studio album. All who preorder Prude on LP or CD in the record shop or in our webstore for local, instore pickup will receive a wristband for the band’s post performance signing. Wristbands are required for the signing for all 13+. Space is limited and wristbands guarantee entrance. In addition to clebrating with the band and label, we’ll also be hosting a Daddy's Dogs Pop-Up for the occasion, so come hungry for rock music and hot dogs!
For over a decade, Drug Church have been building a very strong case that they’re the best loud guitar band in the game; Prude is a 28-minute blast of aggression, melody, irreverence, and genuine heart–feels like the undeniable proof. The album is so downright satisfying it tricks you into thinking there’s nothing all that surprising about a difficult-to-pigeonhole punk band from Albany, NY, with a name like Drug Church somehow having a career at all, much less one that would last over 10 years and qualify them as the best band going. But before you start trying to think of who might have them beat (good luck), consider what just might be the key to Drug Church’s unexpected staying power: Don’t take it too seriously.
In true Drug Church fashion, Prude rejects oversimplification, instead demanding attention and keeping it through sheer force of will. Produced and engineered by longtime collaborator Jon Markson, the album makes it very clear that Drug Church hasn’t stopped pushing themselves and still have more than a few tricks up their collective sleeve.
Don’t miss your chance to see them play in the record store on October 4th! It’s gonna be a ton of fun—we can’t wait! You can secure your copy of the new album and score a Drug Church signing wristband with your Prude preorder now! See you soon, Music City.
