The members of Drug Church with Patrick Kindlon ’08 center.
Patrick Kindlon ’08, the frontman of the punk post-hardcore band Drug Church, was profiled in Rolling Stone in advance of the release of the band’s fifth studio album PRUDE on October 4. Drug Church is a collaboration between Kindlon as lyricist and musicians Nick Cogan, Cory Galusha, Chris Villeneuve, and Patrick Wynne.
Drug Church started as a side project a few years after Kindlon left Bard, when he worked with the band Self Defense Family. Rolling Stone described Kindlon’s lyrics as “equal parts poetic and cutting” and said the band’s music as a whole is full of “raw humanity” and “a sympathetic touch.” Speaking about PRUDE’s content, Kindlon said he was interested in writing about ordinary people whose lives take an unexpected turn. “I’m very sympathetic to things just going a little out of control for you.”
