LP – Drug Church: Cheer

“Cheer” is highly acclaimed 2018 full-length from punk rock agitators Drug Church. The album feels like a culmination of everything Drug Church have been building towards since their debut. The band’s signature blend of aggressive hardcore and massive ’90s alternative indebted hooks has been pushed to new heights, packing a memorable punch into every moment. Vocalist/lyricist Patrick Kindlon (also of Self Defense Family) is in top form lending each track an often uncomfortable but always essential humanity. The album has already been critically praised, with Stereogum recently calling it, “absolutely 100% perfect from beginning to end” and praising Kindlon’s lyrics saying, “Cheer is absolutely essential to this very moment in time. It doesn’t indulge in the apathy, irony, or empty sentimentality endemic to Gen-X; it is, instead, a furious thing that incinerates everything in its scope.”
