Every once in a blue moon something original happens in the world of Rock. Drunks Dont Lie is that happening. A gritty, fun loving garage band with a unique and instantly memorable sound, DDL have come out of nowhere to become one of Boston’s fastest rising stars. With their addictive melodies and their tongue in cheek lyrical musings on all things wrong in the world, Drunks Dont Lie proudly carries on the inspired tradition of punk rebellion pioneered by artists such as the Clash and The Ramones.
But they do it their own way. Intense and scathing, desperate, humorous and hopeful, Drunks Don’t Lie creates songs that defy classification or boundaries. “Happy Hour,” DDL’s debut CD, was an inspired hybrid: a classic rock concept album with a modern punk sensibility and sound. It was also an instant and unexpected success with each of its nine songs getting airplay by Boston area radio stations. Among the biggest local rock stations, WBCN played “Media Man” and WAAF played “Up the Pole” and is currently playing a brand new tune, “The Hate Song” off of their latest EP, “After dinner Mints.” Longtime WAAF DJ, Carmelita, has had the band in studio as a featured guest and has interviewed them several times for her show, “Bay State Rock.”
The Drunks have also made their mark on the Internet, with several songs earning top five honors and “Up the Pole” finishing first at www.ourstage.com, an international online music contest. Drunks Don’t Lie also has been a top draw to help pioneer www.bostongaragebands.com, an online radio station and network dedicated to promoting top Boston bands. DDL continues to earn heavy rotation in the station’s playlist, which recently added their latest single, “The Official Bailout Song.” DDL was also the only Boston band selected as a finalist for this past year’s Best Unsigned Band in the World Contest, hosted on Little Steven’s Underground Garage at Sirius/XM Satellite Radio.
Drunks Don’t Lie have recently completed a new 4-song EP, “After dinner Mints”, recorded at the Liberty and Union recording studio, which is known for their work with The Dropkick Murphy’s. The EP features four new tunes. “Gonna Get You” is a Ramones-inspired rocker. “The Hate Song” is a danceable rock n’ roll and punk rock hybrid. “Rewind” is Drunks Don’t Lie’s trip back to the early 80’s, and “The Official Bailout Song” is DDL’s first acoustic recording and is destined to be this country’s most important song of the year. Currently the EP can be heard at www.myspace.com/drunksdontlie and at www.bostongaragebands.com in addition to local rock and college stations. The band is actively writing and recording new material for a full length CD due out early next year.
With recent sold out shows at the Middle East and other local venues, Drunks Dont Lie are witnessing a growing and spreading audience of devotees. Becoming increasingly familiar with DDL’s material, the band’s fans have turned their shows into slam dancing singalongs. The band can be contacted directly at drunksdontlie@gmail.com and for bookings they can be reached at Headless Buddha Management at 857-205-7804.
