WAR Records welcomes Louisville, Kentucky-based hardcore outfit MIRACLE DRUG to the label’s roster, and announces the upcoming release of the band’s newly-completed How Much Is Enough EP.
With a sound that spans different generations of hardcore, MIRACLE DRUG puts their own spin on a sound crafted in the ’80s by bands like Swiz and Dag Nasty, mixing it with a more chaotic and noisy brand of hardcore played by such ’90s hardcore bands as Sparkmarker, 108, Refused, and Threadbare. How Much is Enough is MIRACLE DRUG at their best, focused, energetic, and most of all a breath of fresh air in a sometimes-stagnant scene.
“We’re really excited to work with WAR Records. We’ve all known Andrew for years and came up in the all ages hardcore scene at the same time. It feels really natural to work with a label that totally understands what we’re about and where we’re coming from. The new EP is exciting for us as well, because the songs are much more of a complete band effort. The 2015 demo was literally the first four songs we wrote. Some of them were written before we had even asked Bricks to sing for us. I’m pretty sure we recorded it before we had ever played a show. How Much Is Enough came together after playing a year-and-a-half of shows, and feels like a more refined representation of our sound and us as a band.”

“I am very excited to be working withMIRACLE DRUG to release their upcoming EP, How Much Is Enough. I have been friends with a few of the guys in the band for a long time, as well as a fan of most of their bands over the years. When I heard the new stuff, I was blown away. The music definitely channels some of my favorite bands of the past, while still sounding current. MIRACLE DRUG is proof that hardcore can’t be confined to a box, and I love that!”
MIRACLE DRUG has booked several hometown shows, with more touring in support of the new EP to be announced.
