{"product_id":"prude","title":"Prude","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrug Church’s PRUDE is the American band’s fifth studio album, released through Pure Noise Records on October 4, 2024. Across ten songs and about 29 minutes, it sharpens the group’s blend of hardcore punk, post-hardcore, grunge-toned alternative rock, and big, hook-driven power chords. The music remains loud and abrasive—driven by dissonant riffs, dense distortion, and Patrick Kindlon’s rough, barked vocals—but it also has a heightened melodic instinct. That balance makes the album feel immediate and physical while keeping its choruses memorable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSongs such as “Mad Care,” “Myopic,” “Demolition Man,” “Business Ethics,” and “Chow” move quickly and aggressively, while “Hey Listen” and “Yankee Trails” add more dynamic range and texture. Lyrically, Kindlon’s writing uses cynicism, dark humor, and pointed observations to explore addiction, alienation, emotional damage, workplace and social pressures, and ordinary human hypocrisy. The closing “Peer Review” slows the record’s momentum into a more expansive build, giving the album a final emotional release. Overall, PRUDE is a concise, cathartic punk record that refines Drug Church’s established sound rather than abandoning it: confrontational, catchy, and sharply aware of how messy people and institutions can be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album - Purple\/Pink\/Orange Aside\/Bside Vinyl","offer_id":53920078496058,"sku":"39700","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-08-17_at_2.03.27_PM.jpeg?v=1786989974","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/prude","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
