Drain is a California based thrash, hardcore and punk band, who are, seemingly, obsessed with sharks; particularly, late 90s crime-fighting half-man/half-sharks and teenage mutant ninja turtles knock-off, street sharks. Drain first commissioned Raul Cruz to design some street sharks-like characters to be featured across the cover for their 2-track Promo 2018 EP, which was, later, slightly modified as the default picture for the band's Twitter profile. Behind the bloodthirsty sharks, Drain consists of vocalist Sam Ciaramitaro, guitarist Cody Chavez, bassist Justin Rhode and drummer Tim Flegal. now, Drain have returned with a new single, "sick one," from their debut, "california cursed", which, also, boasts shark-laden artwork. it's an adorable little "baby" shark designed by Derek Pratt complete with sunglasses, blood drips from his collar, and, of course, heavy metal studded wristbands. "sick one" is definitely, as its title suggests, a "sick one," clocking in at just 58 seconds, but repeated listens will, more likely than not, turn your brain to sludge. Highly recommended.
