Californian hardcore trio Drain have debuted a Riley Lattanza-directed video for their track “FTS (KYS)” You can find that song on the band’s forthcoming Epitaph Records debut album, “Living Proof“.
Frontman Sammy Ciaramitaro had the following to share about this new track:
“Read the lyrics to this song before you make an assumption on what it’s about. This song and this band are all about bettering yourself and the world around you. Sometimes it takes drastic measures to be the person you want to be and I hope this song can give someone the push they might be needing to make that jump.”
I didn’t become straight edge until I was 22, which is a lot later than most of my peers, and I had always wanted to write a song about my journey to sobriety from my standpoint as someone who did in fact indulge in a lifestyle of excess. I know that if I was in that situation, there has to be others that are just like me and I really wanted to write something for those kids.
We had a lot of fun writing this song because we got to experiment with different song structures, wild drum and riffing patterns, and we got to go full “crazy train” with the percussion instruments!”
“Living Proof” will be out on May 05th. At the moment, the band have the following dates announced:
03/25 Ventura, CA – Ventura County Fairgrounds (‘Punk In The Park‘)
06/23-24 Detroit, MI – Russell Industrial Center
