Preorder Drug Church's Prude, due out October 4th via Pure Noise Records, and make plans to join us in the record shop on release day for a special instore performance and album signing with the band! We'll also be hosting a Daddy's Dogs pop-up as a part of our event--it's gonna be a fun one! All who preorderPrude from Grimey's for local, store pickup will receive a wristband with their purchase. Wristbands are required for the album signing for all 13+ and guarantee entrance to our event. (Kids 12 and under do not need a wristband if attending with a wristband-holding adult.) Wristbands are limited and are non-transferable. You can read more about our upcoming event on our site here.

For over a decade, Drug Church have been building a very strong case that they’re the best loud guitar band in the game; their fifth full-lengthPrude–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.

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.

Prude is available to preorder here on Violet in Clear w/ Purple Splatter vinyl LP (available exclusively at indie record stores) and CD.
