Hygiene (Uk)

2022 release. Everyone's favorite punk rock agitators, Drug Church, have returned! Hygiene is their highly anticipated fourth full-length. Drug Church is one of the most singular bands in modern guitar music and on Hygiene the band's uncompromising nature has resulted in a bold leap forward. The Albany and Los Angeles-based five-piece-vocalist Patrick Kindlon, guitarists Nick Cogan and Cory Galusha, bassist Pat Wynne, and drummer Chris Villeneuve-have a unique ability to make distinctly outsider music that's also welcoming and instantly satisfying, as evidenced by Hygiene's lead singles "Million Miles of Fun" and "Detective Lieutenant." The two songs represent the essential tension between overt melody and visceral aggression that fuels Drug Church-the former pushing the band's seamless blend of hardcore bite and massive, '90s-indebted hooks to it's most anthemic point, while the latter shows off a level of tunefulness never before seen in their catalog.
