Following its unapologetic and satirical post-punk track, "Vi Är Finnjävlar", Helsinki's unmissable underground band Drug Store Raid has returned with another eardrum-blasting track, "I Wanna Be A Hipster". This tongue-in-cheek track takes a playful jab at the hipster and artsy crowd while humorously reflecting on the band's place within the lifestyle.
With its gritty guitars, driving rhythms, and a sharp lyrical edge, the single captures the unmistakable genre-blending essence of Drug Store Raid that draws on a spectrum of punk, jazz-funk, new-wave, no-wave, pop, and indie-dance. The song's rawness, humour, and unapologetic attitude deliver a biting social commentary to create an equally playful and provocative anthem.
The debut Drug Store Raid's upcoming full-length, Background Music For Family Arguments, is set for release on 15 November via Kieku Records. The record is a 35-minute sonic adventure that promises to captivate and unite listeners. This collection of twelve tracks draws influences from legendary bands like Talking Heads, The Birthday Party, Swans, and even Madonna, creating a nostalgic but innovative soundscape. The album explores themes of fitting in, mental health struggles, sewers, and the quirks of fashion, all wrapped in a package that balances humour and youthful rebellion.
Drug Store Raid will celebrate the album's release on 28 November at the Semifinal, Helsinki. Link
