Drain- Living Proof LP (Black Vinyl)
Living Proof is the bands Epitaph Records debut and follow up to their 2020 breakout release, California Cursed. The new album is a testament to the hard work and heartfelt ethos thats at the center of DRAINs good-time psyche. There are a couple surprises on the album. Rapper Shakewell appears on the track, Intermission. Theres also a cover of Good, Good Things, a nearly four-decade old melodic punk carol by the Descendents: slam-pit forebearers to DRAIN if there ever were any. Its crazy because the songs been out like forty years, but lyrically its a DRAIN song! exclaims vocalist Sam Ciaramitaro. It just hits on everything that I love, that Im about.
What Sammys about is plenty wholesome. I hope with this record that when someone hears it, it gives them hope, beams. If we were able to get through the tough times, anyone can. I cant wait to play these songs and hear a room full of people singing back to us. Were what the title says, the Living Proof.
Produced by longtime friend and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Young (Gods Hate, Suicide Silence), then mixed by John Markson (Drug Church, Koyo), this is hardcore for everybody. As the band gets bigger, I try and keep that feeling alive, says the smiling singer. Every night I set up the merch and run it until its 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.
