Helsinki’s Drug Store Raid are back to stir the pot with their latest single ‘Vi Är Finnjävlar’. This post-punk powerhouse is a sonic Molotov cocktail, exploding with the band’s signature blend of satire, angst, and raw energy. Translating to “we are Finnbastards,” the track is a brazen middle finger to societal expectations. Drug Store Raid dive deep into the psyche of today’s youth, capturing the isolation and absurdity of modern life with a punk rock sneer. It’s a gritty, in-your-face anthem that demands attention.
With ‘Vi Är Finnjävlar’, the quintet delivers a sharp commentary on Finnish culture, serving up a side order of self-deprecating humor for good measure. It’s a refreshing take on the country’s identity, one that’s both honest and hilarious. This single is a tantalizing appetizer for their upcoming album, Background Music for Family Arguments. Promising a wild ride through post-punk, jazz-funk, and indie-dance, it’s clear that Drug Store Raid are not afraid to experiment. Their ability to seamlessly blend the chaotic energy of Swans with the quirky brilliance of Talking Heads is nothing short of impressive.
If you’re craving a dose of raw, intelligent punk rock with a side of social commentary, look no further than Drug Store Raid. ‘Vi Är Finnjävlar’ is a must-listen for fans of bands like Idles and Fontaines D.C. who aren’t afraid to get a little weird.
