Diner Drugs is a four-piece stoner metal punk crew, born out of a desire to defeat the boredom of east coast living. Hailing from Moncton, NB Diner Drugs is fast, loud and are always keen to turn up the heat with catchy choruses and deep vocal harmonies while sticking to their deep stoner metal roots. They are ready to hit the road this spring and have a flashy new single “This War” coming out May 4th. The single is the first look at a new EP “42” to be released later this spring.
Diner Drugs have developed a reputation for their live performances, keeping themselves steadily on the road, and are now certified road dogs lending east coast support for Cancer Bats, Dead Quiet, and Single Mothers as well as toting local support for heavy hitters Mokomaki and Red Fang.
Their new to-be-released EP “42” keeps them close to their stoner metal roots with relaxed attitudes and groovy riffs, they enjoy bringing fun metal to people and enticing them to headbang. Loud and energetic is their goal, and their lyrics come from both personal experience and witnessing the experiences of others. They live in a have-not town, so they are more than familiar with hard times.
Since their first self-titled EP release in 2017 Diner Drugs have gained immense support and several accolades from their peers and were recipients of the East Coast Music Association Loud Recording of the Year Award 2021, Music NB Loud Artist of the Year Award in 2018, and were nominated for Music NB Video of the Year Award in 2019.
Since 2009 members of Diner Drugs have been foundations of the Moncton metal scene as former members of Bong Jovi, The Human Comedy, and Savage Young. Diner Drugs as always have no signs of slowing down and looking forward to a very busy year touring “42”.
"Diner Drugs is one of those “f&*k all” bands that play heavy, fast and dirty rock." - Jamie Robash, Divide and Conquer Music
