Drug Rug Tour Dates, New Release, and Me Being Overtired

Drug Rug may have been called critic's darlings. They may be boyfriend and girlfriend. They might have been song of the day on NPR, but how would I know. Why ask me? Mind your own business!

So, you may be asking yourself, "What's new with Drug Rug?" Well, luckily I can tell you. Keith Morris of GTFU Radio has called the "The Psychedelic Jonas Brothers," but I have no idea what that means. So let me break it down for us simple folk. Thomas Allen and Sarah Cronin met in 2006, they drank some whiskey, and crooned together with an old guitar. (It all sounds pretty romantic, huh). Their songs are of the homespun tale telling type. (How's that for alliteration)? You know, the type of duo you want around for your next weenie roast.

The band's self titled debut garnered them raves with the types of people whom we should listen to about these things. The sort of people who get paid to know more than we do. Paint the Fence Invisible
, recorded in the Catskills, is soon to be released.

“Drug Rug is the boyfriend/girlfriend duo of Sarah Cronin and Thomas Allen. They obviously haven't been together that long because the songs are still so happy and shiny.” Like a lot of bands, it's The Byrds and Beach Boys meet the indie stylings of today.” - My Old Kentucky Blog
