NOBRO Release Tongue-In-Cheek Romp “Let’s Do Drugs” with Video on Dine Alone Records
Montreal new-age punk outfit NOBRO are back with their first single of 2023. “Let’s Do Drugs” is a tongue-in-cheek romp with crashing percussion, gnarled guitar lines, and raspy vocals.
“A ‘dumb’ rock song about getting older,” vocalist and bassist Kathryn McCaughey explains that “it’s about wanting to have one more wild night while having no business doing so and failing miserably. Musically it’s a middle ground between maybe “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)” and “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” but only the dumbest bits of those songs, distilled into something even more dumb. It’s like shotgunning a beer then immediately puking on yourself.”
It’s accompanied by a raucous music video.
The quartet, comprised of Kathryn McCaughey (vocals/bass), Karolane Carbonneau (guitars), Lisandre Bourdage (keys/percussion), and Sarah Dion (drums), makes clear that they aren’t interested in playing by whatever rules have been set around them. NOBRO is the space where the four women get to take risks and chances. It’s a place for cultivating power and happiness in a hard, mean world. That means the stakes are high.
“Music is where we lift each other up,” says McCaughey. “I wish it was more like a fairy tale. We just want this fucking thing to work. But we’re all gonna succeed together, or we’re all gonna fail together.”
