Tour De Vaap

Work Drugs, along with being synonymous with performance enhancing steroids and Adderall, is also the name of another Philadelphia-based band catching some attention. Work Drugs can be described as a mixture of the chill laid back beach rock of New Jersey’s Real Estate and some 80s synth pop. Gearing up to release their second official album, Absolute Bearing, the two man duo draw heavily from the lo-fi chill-wave feel of the caribbean, and even recorded their new album in the Cayman Islands. This song, “Rad Racer”, is off the group’s self released album, Summer Blood, and is filled with the same vibe and some interesting lyrics about the city, drugs and inner exploration. Check out for the Work Drugs album released later this month and stream all their music on their soundcloud and bandcamp. Oh, and if you are near Philadelphia on July 20th, make sure to check out Work Drugs at the Xponential Music Festival. -D. Gold
