Following the unapologetic, satirical punch of their post-punk anthem ‘Vi Är Finnjävlar’, Helsinki’s underground renegades Drug Store Raid return with another sonic blast in the form of I Wanna Be A Hipster.
Continuing their irreverent streak, playfully skewering the hipster and artsy scenes, the track delivers an exhilarating and playful soundsacpe while poking fun at the band’s own place in the cultural matrix. A Fast-paced, angular guitars, driving drums and razor-sharp lyricism, the track brings a genre-blending sound that combines elements of punk, jazz-funk, indie-dance, and pop, ultimately resulting in a radiant post-punk, and ironicly, “hipster” sound.
Raw, chaotic, yet undeniably catchy anthem, the tracks humour, self-aware irony and rebellious energy are front and centre, offering a biting social commentary wrapped in infectious hooks and inventive wonky musicianship
The single is the first taste of their forthcoming album Background Music For Family Arguments, due out 15th November 2024 via Kieku Records. With critical buzz already swirling from tastemakers like Radio X, Drug Store Raid is building a feverish hype ahead of the full album.
