The Designer Drugs [On Warped Tour 6/28-7/2]

About Me

With a sound harkening back to the punk rock heyday of 1977 CBGB's, New York's The Designer Drugs have rose quickly within the ranks of bands to be seen. Combining essences of glam, rockabilly and aggressive punk rock chops, their debut album 'By RX Only' is one of the most sneering, sex-drenched listens you're likely to hear all year. Constantly on tour, The Designer Drugs are destined to be a classic. Overdose now!
Praise and Hate For The Designer Drugs:
"Hype for a young band can be as negative as it can be positive, but for New York’s the Designer Drugs one thing is certain – it is richly deserved. Combining fierce female vocals with a strange but insanely addictive melting pot of glam, punk and rockabilly, the band’s sound is truly hard to define but undeniably great. With their eagerly anticipated debut album ‘By RX Only’ hitting shelves this summer on Altercation Records, and a number of high profile festivals including the Coney Island Rockabilly Fest on tap for the coming months, the Designer Drugs seem destined to make addicts of us all.---Phillip Hicks -AMP Magazine No. 33 Jun/Jul 2008
