Hailing from South Carolina, Drunk Couples are a trio with a fearless sound that will get you intoxicated on their fury of sound. Though their name may imply images of couples who spent a night out going hard, the only thing that will get you moving and bouncing is their heavy rock. The band's debut album, Blasted!, is as intense as a bulldozer smashing into a building, with guitars and pulverizing drums doing the dirty work. Songs like "Clingers," "Wrecked" and "Carcass" are standouts, showing that Drunk Couples mean business and leave little room to breathe when digesting their material.
"As our first full-length album, we wanted Blasted! to pack a relentless, no-frills, punch from beginning to end, while still putting out a fun, debaucherous summer night type of vibe," drummer Andrew Barnes says of the record. "If at any point while listening to the album you feel like hitting a dirt bike jump over a pit of famished alligators while ripping a beer bong, then we'll feel like we achieved our ultimate goal.”
Drunk Couples' Blasted! will be out June 17 via Bob Records.
