May 5 street date. Drain is a Santa Cruz, CA based hardcore band whose energetic live shows have propelled them to peak underground popularity (during a global pandemic) and they are ready to break wide open in 2023. "Living Proof" is the band's Epitaph Records debut and follow up to their 2020 breakout release, "California Cursed". The new album is a testament to the hard work and heartfelt ethos that's at the center of Drain's good-time psyche. There are a couple surprises on the album. Rapper Shakewell appears on the track"Intermission". There's also a cover of "Good, Good Things", a nearly four-decade old melodic punk carol by The Descendents: slam-pit forebearers to Drain if there ever were any. Produced by longtime friend and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Young (God's Hate, Suicide Silence), then mixed by John Markson (Drug Church, Koyo), this is hardcore for everybody.
