Drug Store Raid - "I Wanna Be a Hipster"


Today is apparently coolest song of the year day at If It's Too Loud... as we bring you the latest from Drug Store Raid. The Helsinki band just released "I Wanna Be a Hipster," which "... takes a playful jab at the hipster and artsy crowd, while humorously reflecting on the band's own place within the lifestyle." The song is driven by a killer bassline and some of the coolest horn around. It's an odd hybrid of post-punk, No Wave, and low rock. I heard a meshing of bands like Viagra Boys jamming with Morphine. It doesn't get much cooler than "I Wanna Be a Hipster," and Drug Store Raid have quickly become a favorite here.

You can watch the video for "I Wanna Be a Hipster" below. Background Music for Family Arguments is due out November 15 on Kieku Records. For more on Drug Store Raid, check out the band on Instagram.
