Drug Church

I've seen the name Drug Church on Instagram record posts in recent years, but as an old and stubborn straight edge dude, I never bothered to check what they were about. I had zero interest. That changed when I saw their new album, Hygiene, listed under the preorder section at REVHQ. Visually, that record cover was stunning and I could not take my eyes off it. Suddenly I needed to find out what kind of music was under that cover.

The band had three new songs from the album available for preview on Spotify, and immediately I found what they were doing to be interesting. I don't even know how to describe what they sound like, but it isn't something that I would normally be interested in...yet I kept returning to those songs. I was sold and I knew that I was going to have to buy this record. While Hygiene isn't going to be my favorite release from this year, it will probably be the most interesting.

There were a number of different pressings for this record, but with that record cover, it felt like the obnoxious colored splatter vinyl looked the best. I didn't care that it was the most common pressing. It seemed to be a good match so that's the one that I grabbed.
