Their upcoming single, "Vi Är Finnjävlar" ("we are Finnbastards"), embodies their gritty, satirical style. This post-punk track delves into the realities of modern Finnish life, touching on themes of youth anxiety and isolation.

Themes range from mental health to the quirks of fashion, all delivered with humor and rebellion.
To celebrate the release, Drug Store Raid will perform at Semifinal in Helsinki on November 28, 2024. With their explosive energy, this show promises to be unforgettable, and Drug Store Raid is a band pushing boundaries, poised to make a lasting impact.
