DESTROY REBULD UNTIL GOD SHOWS (D.R.U.G.S.) Drop "Hunger Pangs"
On May 30th, DESTROY REBUILD UNTIL GOD SHOWS (D.R.U.G.S.) dropped their new single Hunger Pangs and it’s an incredible modern post-hardcore song that doesn’t let you down but instead makes you crave wanting more. The video itself is reminiscent to the 1998 Marvel Comics film Blade, for those who have seen it, it plays out similar to the opening scene of the film in the club and blood rains down on the vampires on the dance floor. Those who are familiar, vocalist Craig Owens was once the frontman of one of the most notorious emo bands of the early 2000’s, Chiodos as well as many other bands until he started D.R.U.G.S. This is just the first taste of what to expect off their upcoming third album. The upcoming release follows two acclaimed albums, 2022's DESTROY REBUILD and 2011's self-titled debut.
"'Hunger Pangs' is a song about an insatiable urge and unquenchable thirst for love. This song is both a new era and return to form for D.R.U.G.S.”
- says Owens
Having now surpassed 10 million cumulative streams, the band's previous album DESTROY REBUILD offered listeners the uniquely nostalgic D.R.U.G.S. sound they had been craving while also exploring new territories, marking a perfect progression and exciting new chapter for Craig Owens. The aggressive melodies paired with low-tuned guitars and introspective lyrics created a slab of the nostalgic alternative rock sound that we all grew up with and have come to crave. Owens' knack for creating sincere lyrics shined through while touching on topics like destiny, perspective, and redemption on DESTROY REBUILD. It is a physical manifestation of the course he has taken in his musical career and encapsulates each step along the way. It is a bright reflection of one's life and actions, and it encourages the listener to do the same in their own life.
In conjunction with the release of Hunger Pangs, and in anticipation of the announcement of their new album, D.R.U.G.S. will embark on a headline tour of the U.S. this summer, with Savage Hands, Downswing, and The Requiem coming along for the ride. All dates are below. Get tickets here.
