From the underground music scene, bursting with sarcasm, satire, and seriousness, emerges Drug Store Raid. This quintet has been creating a buzz since 2021 with their explosive live shows and genre-defying music, drawing a cult following eager for their fresh sound. With a blend of punk, jazz-funk, no-wave, pop, and indie-dance, they are set to be the next sensation to pop like a dandelion.
"Vi Är Finnjävlar"
"Vi Är Finnjävlar" is a gritty post-punk tune fried in dirty realism and satire, listing things about modern life in Finland. The tongue-in-cheek phrase "We are Finnbastards" hails over the lonerism and anxiety of today's youth while going nuts.
Debut album "Background Music for Family Arguments"
Drug Store Raid's debut album (out November 15th , 2024) is a 35-minute sonic adventure that promises to captivate and unite listeners. This collection of 12 tracks draws influences from legendary bands like Talking Heads, The Birthday Party, Swans, and even Madonna, creating a unique soundscape that is both nostalgic and innovative. The album explores themes of fitting in, mental health struggles, sewers, and the quirks of fashion, all wrapped in a package that balances humor and youthful rebellion.
In Finland, Kieku ja Kaiku is a popular cartoon from the 1950s, starring two chickens sowing mischief across their forrest land. Their names are onomatopoeias for the rooster’s crow—cock-a-doodle-doo, loud, brash, and eye-opening. Finland’s KIEKU RECORDS takes its name from these unofficial mascots, borrowing from childhood nostalgia but also carrying an important message. It’s time for the music industry to wake up.
