DRAIN Bring Hardcore Energy and Reflection on New Single
“Scared Of Everything And Nothing” delivers a feral last look at what’s coming on …IS YOUR FRIEND
Santa Cruz hardcore heroes DRAIN have dropped the final single from their highly anticipated new album …IS YOUR FRIEND, out 7th November 2025 via Epitaph Records. Clocking in at two-and-a-half minutes, Scared Of Everything And Nothing is a thrashing, full-force blast that cements DRAIN as one of the most essential names in modern hardcore.
Directed by Eric Richter, the video captures the band’s unfiltered energy performing atop a parking garage—a nod to the community-driven chaos that defines their shows.
Lyrical Candor and Circle Pit Chaos
“This song is a reminder to enjoy the present and just focus on the now,” says frontman Sammy Ciaramitaro, whose confessional, near-freestyle lyricism gives the track a spontaneous emotional hit. “No matter what people see on the outside, there’s always a fight on the inside.”
It’s personal, but not precious—delivered in DRAIN’s signature mix of thick riffs, galloping drums, and mosh-ready breakdowns. Scared Of Everything And Nothing bridges introspection with riotous physicality: made for the pit, but rooted in clarity.

A Hardcore Album Built for the Stage
DRAIN’s upcoming third full-length album was built from the ground up with the live show in mind. Unlike earlier releases, …IS YOUR FRIEND draws directly from hundreds of nights onstage, analyzing what makes crowds explode and bottling that chaos into ten blistering tracks.
Producer Jon Markson (Drug Church, The Story So Far) recorded the album 100% live—no metronome, no studio tricks. The result? An album that hits like a DRAIN show feels: wild, real, and unforgettable.
“The goal was to write songs that would make the next shows even crazier,” the band states.
