- Blood Drugs: All they wanted was a Pepsi.
Ever leaned on an electric fence after sledgehammering a watermelon? This is the sensation of Blood Drugs, a four-piece Seattle punk-rock band. Feel the voltage flow and wallop through you. The shock, the shot of pain, then pleasure from the pain. Guitarist Shawn Kock (from Absolute Monarchs), guitarist/vocalist Kyle Bradford, drummer Thomas Burke, and bassist Gwen Stubbs swing from muscled shoulders with tones of Hot Snakes and Fugazi. This past November, Blood Drugs signed with Good to Die Records, and they will have an album out in the spring. For this interview, Blood Drugs met me at the Puget Sound Blood Center. Platelets were everywhere.
Your song “Lowest” sounds very killer. How did the song happen?
Kyle Bradford: Shawn sent me a 30-second video of the guitar changes…
