Drug Church have announced their upcoming third full-length, Cheer, due out November 2nd on Pure Noise Records. Cheer finds the band amplifying their seemingly contradictory strengths to somehow make their most accessible work to date.
Lead single “Avoidarama” (out today) showcases Drug Church‘s skill at deftly combining pummeling riffs with undeniable hooks, while its Ian Shelton-directed video interprets frontman Patrick Kindlon’s sardonic storytelling with a subject who plays dead to avoid awkward interactions. Watch the music video below and preorder Cheer at http://smarturl.it/DrugChurch.
Drug Church are on tour through August in the U.S. with Can’t Swim, and will be touring the UK in September with Boston Manor, Microwave, and Wallflower. See full itinerary below.
