Post-hardcore band Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (D.R.U.G.S.), featuring Chiodos' Craig Owens, are pleased to announce their third album UNTIL GOD SHOWS. The album — their first since 2022's DESTROY REBUILD and following their 2011-issued, self-titled debut — arrives on September 27 via Velocity Records. Pre-order it here.
The band has just dropped the video for the new single "Losers Stay Losers (Let-down)." Watch it below.
"'Losers Stay Losers' is a vivid picture of grappling with the emotional aftermath of a significant betrayal and the pain, disillusionment, anger, and distress that you have to face," Owens says. "It speaks to the profound impact the other person's actions have on your emotional well-being."
About the video, he says it's "a sequel/extension of our last video single released a few weeks back called 'Hunger Pangs.' The story continues with 'Losers Stay Losers,' and it will continue after that. Zak Pinchin is a legend in the making and working on both of the videos together to bring the ideas to life with him was a one of a kind experience. I look forward to creating with him again in the future."
Regarding the album as a whole, he states, "Until God Shows is a high energy, and fun ride through the rollercoaster world of D.R.U.G.S. Complete with a backstory, and art to bring every sound and feeling to life."
Amen to all of that! It is a welcome return for D.R.U.G.S.
D.R.U.G.S. are currently on a headline tour with Savage Hands, Downswing, and The Requiem coming along for the ride. All dates are below. Get tickets here.
Having now surpassed 10 million cumulative streams, the band's previous album DESTROY REBUILD offered listeners the uniquely nostalgic D.R.U.G.S. sound they had been craving while also exploring new territories, marking a perfect progression and exciting new chapter for Craig Owens. The aggressive melodies paired with low-tuned guitars and introspective lyrics created a slab of the nostalgic alternative rock sound that we all grew up with and have come to crave. Owens' knack for creating sincere lyrics shined through while touching on topics like destiny, perspective, and redemption on DESTROY REBUILD. It served as a physical manifestation of the course he has taken in his musical career and encapsulated each step along the way. It was a bright reflection of one's life and actions, and encouraged the listener to do the same in their own life. The third album UNTIL GOD SHOWS will prove to be yet another step in the ongoing evolution of Craig Owens.
