DRAKULAS Get Upbeat on Latest Single

Perhaps twenty years ago, a band like DRAKULAS would have made more sense coming out of Austin. Back when everyone was enamored with the way The Strokes sounded, every major label that had an office in the Texas capitol would have salivated over the promise of a band that was easy to sell.

Merge to Reissue Polvo’s Cor-Crane Secret & Today’s Active Lifestyles

It’s really hard to believe that two of the best noise rock albums to come out are over twenty-five years old. But with 1992’s Cor-Crane Secret and 1993’s Today’s Active Lifestyles, they’re just that.
