Santa Cruz hardcore outfit Drain pushes the boundaries of modern crossover punk with Is Your Friend, a 2024 full-length LP that captures the chaos, unity, and intensity of their live shows. Released through Epitaph Records, the album keeps every snare crack and shouted lyric front and center, a reminder that hardcore can still sound immediate and alive on vinyl. The black-vinyl pressing reflects the raw minimalism of the band itself: unfiltered, high-volume, and direct from the underground.
Is Your Friend explodes with energy across its tracklist. Songs like "Nights Like These", "Stealing Happiness from Tomorrow", and "Scared Of Everything And Nothing" charge forward with jagged guitar tone and gang-shout hooks that feel tailor-made for sweaty club stages. The production keeps a balance between muscle and grit, giving each instrument room to breathe without polishing away the scuffed edges that make Drain distinct. Listeners will catch flashes of old-school thrash attitude mixed with a new-school punk pulse that moves too fast to fake.
Pressed on standard-weight black vinyl, Is Your Friend includes a printed inner sleeve and clean mastering that emphasizes presence and punch over perfection. Every detail points toward a record made for physical connection: loud playback, rough textures, and no filler. It stands as one of the most uncompromising hardcore albums of the year and a bold statement for Epitaph's new generation roster.
