Hardcore Santa Cruz, CA trio DRAIN are back and announcing their new album …IS YOUR FRIEND today, due for release on November 7 via Epitaph Records. After crushing all expectations with 2023’s LIVING PROOF and spending the subsequent year on the road, the new record finds these best friends playing at the top of their game and flexing their instinctive chemistry.
Leading with bouncy hardcore banger Nights Like These, vocalist Sammy Ciaramitaro pauses to discuss the lifelong goals that have now become Drain’s average Tuesday: “Over the last decade of doing DRAIN, I’ve been able to see the world, meet incredible people, experience all sorts of incredible highs and even a couple of lows – but most importantly, I got to do all of those things with my best friends. No matter how much we accomplish and how big we grow – we are still just a couple of friends who get to play music together, make memories all over the world, and we are SO aware of how lucky we are to do it. THAT is what “Nights Like These” is about.”
