Drug Beard - Drug Beard (Full Album) Drug Beard are Jeff Gallagher (guitar,/bass/vocals); Johnny Busher (lead vocals/percussion) and Todd Molinaro (guitar/vocals), a trio from Pennsylvania whose take on doom is one with a heavy leaning towards the trippier end of the genre's spectrum and who are a band with a strong penchant for tongue in cheek song titles. Although there is a certain amount of humor attached to songs with titles like \"Hang Gliding With Hawks\", \"Wall To Wall Satan\" and \"Hessian Gynecology\" the actual songs themselves are played with a stony (or should that read stoned) straight faced seriousness in a style that suggests that the \"drug\" part of the bands name was not chosen at random.
Drug Beard are a band who utilize a low, slow and heavy dynamic with which to frame their songs and they decorate those dynamics in hazy slightly wasted vocal tones, however unlike many of their contemporaries (Sleep for instance), who often toy with aspects of drug culture in their music and image but equally often sound like they are playing it straight in the studio, Drug Beard have a sound that intimates pharmaceuticals may well have played their part in the bands musical processes.
