Santa Cruz hardcore rising stars DRAIN are back with new single, “Who’s Having Fun?”, taken from their upcoming third album …IS YOUR FRIEND, set to land 7th November 2025 via Epitaph Records.
The track is a rare switch-up for the band, with frontman Sammy Ciaramitaro trading his trademark growls for clean vocals, though fear not, those signature screams still come crashing in before the end. Bursting with energy, ripping guitar work, and a punk-rock spirit, the song is tailor-made for blasting with the windows down.
“‘Who’s Having Fun?’ is summertime music written to be played really loud in the car with your friends and the windows down on a beautiful sunny day,” Ciaramitaro explains. “It’s what happens when you just write music that makes you feel happy and don’t really care about fitting into a box or meeting someone else’s genre criteria. DRAIN is gonna do whatever the hell we want. This was the first song that we wrote for this album – it started out as a pretty barebones punk rock song, but we kept adding little moments and flare and all the sudden we turned it into a badass song that truly encapsulates everything that DRAIN is. This song can be about whatever you want it to be – but I think when looking for the truth in life, a good rule of thumb is to ask yourself: Who’s Having Fun? Hopefully it’s you.”
The single arrives alongside a new video directed by Ryan Baxley (Green Day, FIDLAR), capturing the band in their element: jamming outdoors, perched on a Vespa, and tearing it up in front of a stunning ocean backdrop.
Produced by Jon Markson (The Story So Far, Drug Church, One Step Closer), …IS YOUR FRIEND was recorded live, with no click tracks or programmed shortcuts, aiming to capture the band’s feral live energy in full. Across its 10 tracks, DRAIN promise heavier mosh parts, catchier hooks, and bigger stage-ready chaos than ever before.
