NorCal hardcore trio Drain are back with a new single and music video, “FTS (KYS)” ahead of their freshly announced Epitaph debut album, Living Proof, due on May 5th, 2023.

Packed with chugging power chords and ending with a brutal breakdown, the thrash heavy song scores the cinematic storyline of the Riley Lattanza directed music video where all three Drain members are tracked and killed by men in suits. RIP

Frontman Sammy Ciaramitaro warns:

“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.”

He continues: “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!”

I have an unhealthy obsession with bad horror movies, the song Wanted Dead Or Alive and crap British game shows. I do this not because of the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle it affords me but more because it gives me an excuse to listen to bands that sound like hippos mating.
