Helsinki’s vibrant underground music scene is surely buzzing with the return of Drug Store Raid, whose latest single, “I Wanna Be A Hipster,” follows their satirical anthem “Vi Är Finnjävlar.” This tongue-in-cheek track playfully critiques hipster culture while reflecting on the band’s own artistic identity.
With gritty guitars and driving rhythms, “I Wanna Be A Hipster” showcases Drug Store Raid’s genre-warping style, drawing influences from punk, jazz-funk, new-wave, and indie-dance. The song’s raw energy and sharp lyrics create a catchy anthem that delivers both humor and biting social commentary.
This single marks the first glimpse of their forthcoming album, Background Music For Family Arguments, set to release on November 15, 2024, via Kieku Records. Promising a 35-minute sonic adventure, the album will feature twelve tracks that explore themes of identity, mental health, and fashion quirks, all wrapped in a nostalgic yet innovative sound.
The band is poised for big things, and fans can catch Drug Store Raid live at their album release show on November 28, 2024, at Semifinal in Helsinki.
