Drug Church is a hardcore punk band from Albany, New York. The band has released two full-length albums, as well as several EPs.
History
Drug Church started as a side project for singer Patrick Kindlon of Self Defense Family. After having released a 3-song demo online in 2011, the band got signed by No Sleep Records by the beginning of 2012.[1]
Lyrical and musical style
Musically the band mixes hardcore punk in the style of bands like Black Flag with alternative rock and grunge elements. The lyrics to their songs focus mostly on social matters and tend to be dark and/or satirical. In a Q&A Session on the website of his other project Self Defense Family, Kindlon has stated that he has no pre-written lyrics for his bands and rather writes the songs lyrics while in the studio:
"Completely different people write the instrument portion of the music. Leads to a very different feel, so, very different lyrics.Also, I write everything in the studio. So, there’s no bank of lyrics I pull from. This is made to order, not buffet."[2]
