I would love to be in the room when they picked this name.
"Dude, I don't really think we should name the band 'Drugs' that can be a bad message."
"Naw dude, it means, 'Destroy rebuild until god shows.' It's great."
"Oh, in that case it's just unbelievably shitty."

Also, the video is awful. I get tired of this young bands who associate behavior found in mental disorders or drug abuse as edgy. I'm not impressed.

BertRacoon (December 3, 2010)

Also, in a weird way Carly Simon was pretty hot.

mcflynnthm (john) (December 3, 2010)

Truth.

And I'd rather listen to Carly Simon than this band any day.

Cheesetits (December 3, 2010)

She looks like Jessica Biel in that picture.

Cos (December 3, 2010)

Dear god.... same horse face and everything.

Cheesetits (December 3, 2010)

I'd still give Biel a 10 on the Clydesdale Scale.

thepopeofchili-town (December 3, 2010)

Not going to bother watching the video, because I'm sure it's going to be awful, but didn't this dude try to kill himself a couple years back? I think he has a history with mental illness, so I'm not sure how much of it is just "Putting on a show" or whatever.

Dante3000 (rich) (December 3, 2010)

Apparently he attempted to kill himself a few years ago with Xanx...Which kind of makes the video that much odder.

Misanthropee (December 4, 2010)

Which means he just put on a show. Yeah it's possible to OD on alprazolam, but there's a 90% chance you'll just get WASTED, do and say horrific things you'll never remember, and pass out. It's the shortest-acting benzo and is mostly metabolized already by the time your CNS starts getting really depressed.

Bitch_I_Did (December 3, 2010)

Obviously no one on punknews gives a shit about any of these bands or decaydance for that matter. Can we somehow ban certain bands that have nothing to do with punk rock from this site? As much as I enjoy everyone making fun of these bands not one person cares about these shitty bands.

drugmoney (December 3, 2010)

not that i care about this band neither, but how do you know that nobody cares about them?

whiskeyjed (December 7, 2010)

As much as it makes no sense to me, I'm sure lots of people "care" about this band. But it sure as hell isn't punk rock.

drugmoney (December 3, 2010)

so i gave this a listen and i take back my last comment.

jeffrocentric (December 4, 2010)

spiders....tattoos...naked chicks...cursing...!!@##@#@$

johngentile (john g.) (December 3, 2010)

Who do YOU think "You're so vain" is about? My guess is Warren Beatty.

jproducer (December 7, 2010)

It's actually about James Taylor, her husband at the time, or soon to be ex.

whiskeyjed (December 7, 2010)

That is rumor. Never been confirmed.

MoreLikeGuidont (December 3, 2010)

Douchebag supergroup

lifeatdisconnect (December 3, 2010)

Truly, painfuly, lowest common denominator awful. Terrible name, terrible theme, terrible pedigree, terrible song.

This sucks.

Nipple.

2moreinches (December 5, 2010)

i didn't care enough to watch this video intently so i missed it. WHERE CAN I SEE IT?!

jaradyeah (December 6, 2010)

actually, you were watching the video too intently. ask carly.

Bob_Ice (December 3, 2010)

I want to do this band's name. I do not want to listen to them.

LeightonESmith (December 3, 2010)

agreed.
i thought Pat from Have Heart was in this band. I started watching expecting hardcore, not this sheite.

name (December 5, 2010)

no, Pat's in FUCK Drugs. what ever happened with that band anyway, weren't we supposed to hear some music?

holy_balls (December 3, 2010)

Aint u thank diz sawng wuz about u aint u aint u aint u!

Blackjaw_ (December 3, 2010)

No thanks. I've already got "If You Think We're Talking About You, We Are" by Crime in Stereo.

Rudy87 (December 3, 2010)

^ that makes 2 of us. unfortunately, D.R.U.G.S. was all hopped up on coke and thought this was a great song name to rip off

encorp (December 3, 2010)

Awful song.

Also; There is no god. So does that mean that 50% of what this band believes in is invalid?

SpoogeDragon (December 4, 2010)

who cares what the band believes in.

Descendentmark (December 3, 2010)

Holy Shit This SUCKS!

AlmostPunkEnough (December 3, 2010)

wow, the Used have gotten even worse.

Dante3000 (rich) (December 3, 2010)

Rewatched the video, in case I missed something (actually stopped watching about a minute into it the first time), nice rape fantasy you piece of shit.

AlmostPunkEnough (December 3, 2010)

i'm curious about the "actress" in this video. it's not like she has any lines, basically she showed up to a casting call that prolly said "brunette needed for two minute long, topless simulated-rape scene". i bet there were a few dozen chicks vying for the role too.

Dante3000 (rich) (December 3, 2010)

I'm sure. The thing is, there's no context. There's no reason for me to believe it's anything more than some dudes crazy rape fantasy. Yes, he's supposed to be mentally ill in the music video but there's no context for that entire piece to offer anything more than it being a rape fantasy.

AlmostPunkEnough (December 3, 2010)

i'd actually blame it more on the director who prolly wanted to do the casting call himself:

"name?"
"Jennie!"
"take your top off and look drugged out"
"okay!!"
"meh... NEXT!"

Cos (December 3, 2010)

How the hell did we get from nominally immature songs about jilted adolescent lust (ie. Descendents) to metaphorically killing women in every other video?

Fuck, I've had some pretty strong emotions about my ex-girlfriends, but I've never dreamt about burying them. Kids today!

slymer (December 3, 2010)

way to give drugs a bad name

AlmostPunkEnough (December 3, 2010)

adrenaline shot through the heart and you're too blame?

scorpiondeathlock (December 3, 2010)

smile empty soul already ruined drugs for me years ago.

hashbrowns (December 3, 2010)

terrible. terrible. terrible.

Rudy87 (December 3, 2010)

terrible things are among us

scorpiondeathlock (December 3, 2010)

this supergroup has nothing on Damocracy. they were a savage animal. rock and roll is a savage animal.

AlmostPunkEnough (December 3, 2010)

hahaha, oh Mr. Bach.

i'm so glad someone else remembers that.

Half_Idiot (December 3, 2010)

"We can call it FIST. All five of us coming together."

MrKite (December 3, 2010)

you can see her nips.

AlmostPunkEnough (December 3, 2010)

apparently there's a 9 minute version of this... i'm sure it's brilliant in that context.

jacknife737 (December 3, 2010)

Fucking shit: nothing redeemable at all about this song or video.

This band is a cultural abortion.

Pope, you're the motherfucking man!

Did I ever tell you I owe my Frank Turner love to you? Looking forward to this...

2moreinches (December 5, 2010)

I was reading through comments and saw this, what might this be?

thepopeofchili-town (December 6, 2010)

Download it and find out.

2moreinches (December 7, 2010)

is it just an awesome mix?

thepopeofchili-town (December 8, 2010)

the awesomest.

Why would anyone ever cheat on this dipshit?

Whoever made the contacts for this shoot should be set on fire and shoved down several flights of stairs.

No wonder Pete Wentz likes this. I bet Ashlee is banging dudes left and right.

apocalidiot (December 4, 2010)

I can't imagine what I would do if I saw my hypothetical child watching this when he's 12 or whatever.

Grue (December 4, 2010)

Wow, pretty sure music can't get much worse than this.

misholicious (December 4, 2010)

this is just...terrible.

scientistrock (December 4, 2010)

They refer to it as a short film.

laserguidedbygod (December 4, 2010)

I was bummed for a while that mainstremo was missing overt and violent misogyny. Glad to see such a decisive return to form.

JayTee (December 4, 2010)

Hahahaha! Main-Stream-O, where was this genius term 5 years ago!?

laserguidedbygod (December 5, 2010)

Five years ago? In the comment section here, where I picked it up haha.

damagdsole (December 4, 2010)

normally i would never listen to crap like this but i had to hear it since i hear the name mentioned on our local "new alternative" or whatever station once in a while and my old band used to play with that chiodos band once in a while, way before they were signed or whatever. but yeah, the comments are nail on head, this is brutally awful. the worst is they sold out two shows in a row the other night at this local club (not that big but still impressive). i just think about how much music meant to me when i was 13 or 14 years old (and getting my new music from said radio stations) i feel so bad for these kids now.

eatyour_face (December 4, 2010)

say what you will but I loved this video/song. It's better than anything else these band members are in, and it looks promising as being allot less hipster.

eatyour_face (December 5, 2010)

and also, He's the one getting buried not the girl so it's not a fucking rape fantasy. I love ripping on sceramo bands just as much as anyone else, but this is better than anything I've seen down that road.

boobthemusicindustry (December 5, 2010)

sorry, all i heard was "troll"

Dante3000 (rich) (December 5, 2010)

Uhm...They also show the girl in there and even if they didn't, she is the one getting manhandled while naked. It doesn't need to have murder to be a rape fantasy.

kazonikers (December 5, 2010)

So a bunch of shitty bands got together and said " Hey, lets start another shitty band and give it a shitty name".
