DRUG CHURCH | Poznań

On September 16, Drug Church will take over Poznań's 2Progi to prove that the best post-hardcore emerges from total relaxation.

Expect dirty riffs, irony, and energy that can't be faked.

Drug Church is a living monument to accidental success and proof that "failing up" is a viable career path.

The result includes the single "Weed Pin"—recorded with Jon Markson, a powerful alt-rock anthem about job prospects gone nowhere, previewing their first album for Pure Noise Records.

In recent years, Drug Church has solidified its position on the alternative scene, blending post-hardcore rawness with grunge catchiness and ironic detachment. Their uncompromising approach attracts an ever-widening audience. Polish fans may remember them fondly from their support slot before the legendary Deftones in Łódź. On September 16 in Poznań, they take the headline spot.

The group consistently avoids sterile
