Drahla Twelve Divisions Of The Day

Blending wiry, dark post-punk with unpredictable art-rock, Drahla have established
themselves as a formidable and distinctive band across their two sold out 7" singles
and the 2017 Third Article EP. Formed in late 2015, Drahla quickly found their
identity in Yorkshire's fertile music scene with their minimal yet robust bass-heavy
sound. Their reputation as a fervent live act is ever-growing, with the band being
asked to share stages with the likes of Parquet Courts, METZ, Ought, Buzzcocks,
Hookworms, The Cribs and more. Their Third Article EP, produced by
Hookworms' MJ, was released at the end of 2017 on the band's own Blank Ad
label followed by their first European tour supporting Metz. Third Article finds the
band at their most captivating, with track `Silk Spirit' exhibiting Luciel's
mesmerizing spoken drawl, paired with the steady unrelenting wall of sound from
Rob Riggs on bass, and Mike Ainsley on drums. After watching the band's self-made
video for `Silk Spirit', Mike Sniper, founder of Brooklyn independent label
Captured Tracks, was immediately hooked. The band signed to Captured Tracks
shortly after. Now, having just completed a tour supporting Ought, the band are
releasing their commanding new 7-inch single `Twelve Divisions of the Day',
featuring a B-side remix that strikes with as much fervor as the original but leaves
a different bite mark. As they commence a slew of May and June shows, including
an invitation to play Robert Smith's Meltdown Festival, the band are poised to take
their mark as one of the most visceral and exciting new bands on the scene.
