Album review: Ocean Grove – ODDWORLD
Melbourne party-starters Ocean Grove get weird in both good ways and bad on album number four…
Craig Owens' Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows have just unveiled their first new song in almost a decade.
D.R.U.G.S. are back! Craig Owens has not only revived the emo/post-hardcore supergroup who broke up in 2012, but he's now currently the sole member of the group.
To celebrate the return of the project, Craig has unveiled new track King I Am, with the musician telling Forbes: "This message is that… I’m back; that I feel good. I feel good about myself. And everyone else should feel good about themselves, too. I hope people turn this on at the gym, or at their home, or in a moment when they’re going to a job interview — some point where they need motivation, where they have to gas themselves up. [I hope] that it inspires them the way that it inspires me. I listen to it when I work out — I love listening to my own music. And that’s not in a self-parading, celebratory kind of way. It’s more about just making the music that I want to hear."
Craig has also confirmed that he is writing the next D.R.U.G.S. album – the follow-up to their 2011 self-titled debut – and that King I AM is "very indicative of what is to come" from it.
"I want to write an album that is high-energy, that is motivational," he says. "Nothing that’s too whiny or self-deprecating. It’s time to step up and communicate something that I believe is missing in that world right now. I hope to team up with a bunch of my producer friends. I love working with other people, but I do have a very focused vision for this."
