The Drain Outs (who you might have seen rocking Gasparilla Music Festival in October) are celebrating the release of a new album Love Like You Want—a surf and garage rock-treat with some Dinosaur Jr. sprinkled in.
“This record is the reflection of us finding our footing, not only sonically, but as young men coming of age in an ever-changing world,” Blake Billington told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. “Tackling themes of turbulent relationships, societal conformity, and candy coated infatuation comes second nature when it’s your reality.”
St. Pete’s Green Bench Brewing hosts the free party with Glaze and House of I opening the family-friendly show. “We hope this collection of songs will help ease the listener into the scalding hot tub we call living,” Billington added. The album—which came together because COVID prevented the band’s tour—definitely eased my morning commute that’s for sure.
