State Drugs
State Drugs is a band from Denver, CO trying their best to make catchy yet refined songs they would have listened to 20 years ago. Think a mixed grab bag of Knapsack, Jawbreaker, Gameface, and Smoke or Fire doused in "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Slowly birthed at the end of 2015-early 2016 from fragments of songs hibernating on a hard drive, State Drugs released 3 EP's before partnering with Snappy Little Number Quality Audio Recordings and Toxic Pop Records to release a collections LP titled "Takings and Leavings" in 2019. In 2020 the digital EP, "666, Blah, Blah, Blah", was self-released by the band and featured a more focused sound. In 2021, the band released their first LP "Live, Laugh, Love" in partnership with Snappy Little Numbers and Ashtray Monument Records, and will release a new LP titled "Parade of Red Flags" in November 2023. "It’s like the Gin Blossoms if only Dave Lombardo played drums" said some drunk passerby one time.
