Portland Mercury: "Oms-B Records label-heads Justin and Philip make up the core members of Los Angeles-based Your Drugs My Money. An experimental improv-noise jam band that can happily perform for multiple consecutive hours, they have stacked the risk factor for themselves with their constant lineup changes. Look for guest musicians and general chaos in addition to reel-to-reel tape machine loops, quirky homemade electronics, a Moog, a contact throat mic, a ferocious overdriven guitar, and a heck of a lot of delay pedals. Truly anything goes and the only thing that is certain is that it will be exceedingly loud and deliciously messy."
Eli Chartkoff of The Monolators describing the show they played with us in Portland 2007: "Then after us (thank god we didn’t have to follow them) were three bands, Your Drugs My Money, Argumentrix, and Kitty Midwife who combined their sets and played a single piece together. I would go so far as to say they were unfollowable. I kind of lack the vocabulary to describe what I saw, but, roughly: there were four people kneeling or sitting onstage, and two standing off: all had either microphones or heavily-modified electronic instruments running through complex chains of guitar effects. I saw, among other things, a Barbie doll with some kind of voice chip plugged into the PA system; a violin entirely covered in stickers; what I think was an empty case for blank cd-r’s filled with resistors and electronics; a set of cracked cymbals; and little microcassette recorders used with built-in microphones. The various performers either sat quietly, or swayed back and forth on their haunches, or screamed and thrashed about manically while yelling, singing, talking into their microphones, or fiddling with their electronics, and they created a dense wall of clashing noise. But: it was not chaos. There was a structure, and it was clear that the different members were listening to each other and playing off of each other. There were movements (a dense part, a quiet part, a part where a bunch of guys wrestled each other and smashed things), and I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to say that the performance was really like an orchestral piece, just without a conductor. It was pretty much unlike anything I’d seen before and now I’m interested in seeing more."

Anno Domini Gallery: "Your Drugs My Money is a collective of experimental artists and musicians from Los Angeles. They embrace the utilization of unconventional instruments and eerie undertones, that you could describe as an ambient durge. This has lead them to journey out of Los Angeles to collaborate with other avant garde artists such as Argumentix and Mattress. Your Drugs My Money is all about exploring new dimensions in the field of sound. The echo's will stretch, and your idea of what music is will be questioned."
