***The best of Milwaukee's worst!!! Drugs Dragons have drawn out another menacing LP from the sewers under Wisconsin's largest metro area. Packed with tales of gruesome abdication, seductive deprogramming and woeful cries of existence, HIghest Strangeness conjures images of horror driven by halting punk guitar, thunderboy bass, and caustic percussion surrounded by vocalist El Chappelle's caterwaul tantrums. Recorded in the basement of MotorCo Studios away from the sunlight and Mastered in the basement of Mystery Room mastering, also away from the sunlight. Pressed on black vinyl like the content of our souls. Recommend for fiends of: Butthole Surfers, Early Alice Cooper band, Can, Hawkwind, Sagger, Crime.
LP $16.35

***The truly amazing thing about Milwaukee’s DRUGS DRAGONS is how close they come to distilling the essence of “rock” into recording. Live, they’re intense and unpredictable. Sweat, blood, whiskey, and beer appear in equal measure at their shows, and, like all good rock bands, volume is a necessary ingredient. Their new LP, II & I/II, is easily the equal of their live performance. Capturing the energy and vitriol of vocalist PUKE DRUGS’ sweaty snarl, as well as TONY SAGGER’s alternately brutal and psychedelic guitar part. Tony also handled bass duties on the album, and drums are courtesy of the reliable ERRORIC MILDEW.

***Rock'n'roll is an elusive beast; only a small percentage of those who attempt to harness it can even come close. Rock isn't about selling out Madison Square Garden, it's about getting a room full of people to believe in what you're doing; to subscribe to your version of the gospel. The truly amazing thing about Milwaukee, WI's DRUGS DRAGONS is how close they come to distilling the essence of "rock" into a recording. Live, they're intense and unpredictable. Sweat, blood, and beer appear in equal measure at their shows, and, like all good rock bands, volume is a necessary ingredient. Astoundingly, The Milorganight EP is easily the equal of their live performance, capturing the energy and vitriol of vocalist PUKE DRUGS’ sweaty snarl, as well as guitarist TONY SAGGER’s chunky chording and the on-the-edge rhythm section of bassist ZORACH DRAGONS and drummer ERRORIC MILDEW. Drugs Dragons formed in spring 2009 from the remnants of Milwaukee's beloved NIGHT TERRORS. Although their stated influences range from early Alice Cooper, the Cramps and the Dead Boys to such modern icons as Clone Defects and the A-Frames, Drugs Dragons have forged their own path among the two million or so bands currently active. They're not interested in climbing the charts; they want to get in your face. And this record will do exactly that. Coming fresh off the release of their Dusty Medical Records' debut (following a pair of 7" releases on their own Terror Trash label) this EP is set to take the...

***DRUGS DRAGONS was formed in the Spring of 2009 from the ashes of Milwaukee's NIGHT TERRORS. Gaining lead vocalist LUKE CHAPPELLE (best known for his visual art and being one half of Milwaukee booking/DJ duo THE GET DRUNK), along with his brother ZACH on bass, the group is rounded out with the inimitable TONY SAGGER on guitar and backing vocals and ERIC MILDEW on drums. Like previous Tony Sagger musical projects, Drugs Dragons carries a violent, menacing, primal vibe undercut with retarded, resin-caked humor and hairy, beer-breathed testosterone. However this band is a whole new beast for different times, pioneering a weird, hard rock sound reminiscent of the Testors knocking back shots with AC/DC and Alice Cooper, or The Cramps sharing a joint with the Butthole Surfers through a codeine haze. Limited edition of 300.
