About This Item
Drain - the Santa Cruz, CA based hardcore band, whose energetic live shows have propelled them to peak underground popularity (during a global pandemic) and they are ready to break wide open in 2023. LIVING PROOF is the band's Epitaph Records debut and follow up to their 2020 breakout , California Cursed. The new album is a testament to the hard work and heartfelt ethos that's at the center of Drain's good-time psyche. There are a couple surprises on the album. Rapper Shakewell appears on the track, InchIntermissionInch. There's also a cover of InchGood, Good Things,Inch a nearly four-decade old melodic punk carol by the Descendents slam-pit forebearers to Drain if there ever were any. InchIt's crazy because the song's been out like forty years, but lyrically it's a Drain song!Inch exclaims vocalist Sam Ciaramitaro. InchIt just hits on everything that I love, that I'm about.InchWhat Sammy's about is plenty wholesome. InchI hope with this record that when someone hears it, it gives them hope,Inch beams. InchIf we were able to get through the tough times, anyone can. I can't wait to play these songs and hear a room full of people singing back to us. We're what the title says, the Living Proof.InchProduced by longtime friend and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Young (God's Hate, Suicide Silence), then mixed by John Markson (Drug Church, Koyo), this is hardcore for everybody. InchAs the band gets bigger, I try and keep that feeling alive,Inch says the smiling singer. InchEvery night I set up the merch and run it until it's time to play. I want to be the guy that everyone says hello to. I want to thank every single kid that comes out for being there.Inch Album Tracks 1. Run Your Luck 2. FTS (Kys) 3. Devil's Itch 4.
