Drug Church Call Out the Utter Purposeless of Mankind on ‘Demolition Man’


Drug Church's new single, "Demolition Man," is out now off the punk band's fifth studio album 'PRUDE.'

“Demolition Man” crashes in, quite fittingly, on a wave of deliciously dumb riffs that belie the painfully insightful opening lyrics, which see frontman Patrick Kindlon roaring: “Saw a video of some working dogs/Each so happy to do what he does/Muddy fur chasing herds four-wheeler rides/Running sheep smile wide deep sleep full life/But mankind? “So there’s certainly classic Drug Church stuff — people derailing their lives, a strong pull to some type of individualism, frustration with mob mentality, this idea that maybe community isn’t what it’s sold as — but I would say that this album approaches it from sort of a sad storytelling way. The band’s 2022 album, Hygiene, scored a Song You Need to Know from RS for standout single “Million Miles of Fun.” PRUDE drops on Oct. 4 via Pure Noise.
