A high-energy, homegrown melodic hardcore act.
While many hardcore bands focus their fury outward, Drought turns inward—channeling personal struggle to chart a different path. Formed in 2022, the Bay Area band—guitarists Eric Nakano and RJ Rabe, drummer Ray Avila, and vocalist Viggy Ram—found common ground in shared influences like Pianos Become The Teeth, mewithoutYou, and Title Fight to overcome personal hardships and isolation. After recording a three-song EP in 2022, Drought's emotionally charged live shows caught the attention of Iodine Recordings. Now, Drought returns with their debut LP Souvenir, recorded to tape by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Gouge Away). These thirteen songs channel moods and emotion with conviction, shaped by years of perspective.
