Santa Cruz hardcore outfit Drain will release their new full-length Living Proof on May 5 via Epitaph Records. As a piece that makes up the upcoming release, the band shared a music video for their cover of the Descendents track “Good Good Things.” Tackling the 1985 classic, the reimagined version comes as a change of pace for the band who trade in their thrash roots for melodic punk, debuting smooth baritone vocals from front man Sammy Ciaramitaro.
In tribute to their labelmates of legendary status, vocalist Ciaramitaro explains: “The Descendents were a huge band for me as both a teenager and as an adult. I know I can speak for all of us when I say that it’s an honor to pay homage and respect to them as a band that changed the game for us. I just straight-up love this track, and in a weird way, felt like lyrically, it hit home and touched on the same themes that Drain is all about.”
