Santa Cruz hardcore institution DRAIN dropped the final single “Scared Of Everything And Nothing” from their forthcoming album …IS YOUR FRIEND, arriving November 7th via Epitaph. A two-and-a-half-minute gut punch with weighty breakdowns and slashing guitars, “Scared Of Everything And Nothing” confirms that these songs were written for the most fun live show in all of hardcore. The video directed by Eric Richter captures that energy as they perform on top of a parking garage.
Sammy Ciaramitaro notes of the song:
“‘Scared Of Everything And Nothing’ in short is a song about my experience as a human trying my best to reflect as I navigate through this world and this life. It's a song where most of the words literally walked from my brain right out my mouth. I was taking a step back and thinking about the fact that I have everything and have done everything that I wanted a decade ago. I had big dreams and without even realizing it, I had managed to turn them all to reality. Make something of myself and do it my own way, get married, lead a life of healthy choices...etc. This song is a reminder to enjoy the present and to just focus on the now. It's a reminder that no matter what people see on the outside, there's always a fight on the inside. While that could sound bad - I think that any life worth living is going to be full of hurdles - it's up to us to fight and push through adversity and make our realities what we want of them. As much as I'm running away from old problems, I am also running into new hurdles, and ya know what...I'm stoked to break them down too and keep on charging to the next one.”
