Drug Church – “Myopic”
Drug Church, baby! What a band! Last year, Drug Church released their long-awaited album Hygiene, and it absolutely ruled. (They also covered the Mighty Mighty BossTones’ “Someday I Suppose,” which was unexpected.) Drug Church also put on a hell of a live show. Right now, they’re getting ready to head out on tour with Prince Daddy & The Hyena, Anxious, and Webbed Wing — a pretty great bill! With the tour about to start, Drug Church have just casually knocked out an absolute beast of a new song — as if a great single like this just worked as tour promo.
Drug Church’s new single is called “Myopic,” and it’s got a hell of an opening lyric. Allow me to quote the first verse in full: “Ever been to a county fair where the games are scams?/ Now apply what you know to all the things you don’t/ Politics and business/ Most love, many friendships/ Throw until your tendons tear, but those bottles stay weighted.” That’s writing! Drug Church have expressed those deep, dark feelings in the form of a fired=up, hooky guitar-rock. Great song.
Drug Church’s tourmates Webbed Wing, it’s worth mentioning, just released their own new EP. Below, listen to Drug Church’s “Myopic” and check out the dates for that tour.
