* PREORDER * DRAKULAS - Midnight City LP

* PREORDER * expected to arrive early-mid May

Highly recommended.

Austin’s creepiest bad boys are back!

After a few years of wandering in the wilderness, Drakulas return to their spiritual home at Dirtnap Records.

Drakulas move in the shadows of a neoned, late‑’70s city—proto‑punk bite, garage grit, ’80s synth ghosts and new‑wave chill wrapped in world-building, nocturnal lyrics.

Conceived as an art experiment by Savage Lord Mic, Sam Francisco (Riverboat Gamblers) and Pink Rick (Rise Against), and filled out with a rotating cast of sketchy characters, Drakulas quickly shed their daylight skins—black turtlenecks, medallions, VHS flicker—and became emissaries of a cinematic underworld where drugs, arcade lights, pornography and occult whispers score the streets.

Their third LP turns up the musical quirk factor a bit, with fully-realized, inter-connected songs that are at the same time unsettling and yet weirdly danceable. Marvel as they emerge from the fog with a new full‑length on Dirtnap/Wild Honey—listen if you dare.
