Drain bringing hardcore to Coachella 2026, release new song

2 Mins read

Fresh off being one of the punk bands announced on the 2026 Coachella lineup, Drain have shared the fourth and final taste of their upcoming album …Is Your Friend. “Scared of Everything and Nothing” is another dose of classic heavy Drain, following the melodic third single, and Drain vocalist Sammy Ciaramitaro says:

“Scared Of Everything And Nothing” in short is a song about my experience as a human trying my best to reflect as I navigate through this world and this life. It’s a song where most of the words literally walked from my brain right out my mouth. I was taking a step back and thinking about the fact that I have everything and have done everything that I wanted a decade ago. I had big dreams and without even realizing it, I had managed to turn them all to reality. Make something of myself and do it my own way, get married, lead a life of healthy choices…etc. This song is a reminder to enjoy the present and to just focus on the now. It’s a reminder that no matter what people see on the outside, there’s always a fight on the inside. While that could sound bad – I think that any life worth living is going to be full of hurdles – it’s up to us to fight and push through adversity and make our realities what we want of them. As much as I’m running away from old problems, I am also running into new hurdles, and ya know what…I’m stoked to break them down too and keep on charging to the next one.

Watch the Eric Richter-directed video below. …Is Your Friend drops 11/7 via Epitaph and and we’ve got an exclusive “patina rust splash” vinyl variant up for pre-order in the BV shop.
