Artist Bio

The Drained carries an introspective spirit of rebellion that seeks to bring the inner punk out of every listener. The Drained strike a balance between infectious choruses, slow vibes anyone can sway along to, and straight up feel-good music that will make you want to hit up the nearest beach and chill. With combinations of influence such as Weezer and Letters to Cleo, each song has a unique style all on its own, telling a self-contained story that helps flesh out the bigger picture behind the band - one that continues to change with every song that is written.

The band’s first EP “Make it Somehow” was released on August 11th, 2023. The band is set to release a new, 4-song EP in Summer of 2025.
