Drug Store Raid returns with a vengeance, unleashing the fiery new single “Vi Är Finnjävlar,” a track as audacious as its title. Famed for their blistering satirical humor and fearless social criticism, the five-piece outfit continues to push their limitations, coalescing punk urgency, jazz-funk groove, no-wave dissonance, and indie-dance swagger into an intoxicating aural cocktail.

With skin-peeling wit and contagious energy, “Vi Är Finnjävlar touches on themes of cultural identity and outsider pride, embodying the rebellious energy that’s made Drug Store Raid a cult hit since their 2021 debut.

Their reputation for explosive live shows precedes them, and “Vi Är Finnjävlar” is built for the stag , a fist-pumping, hip-shaking anthem sure to set crowds aflame. If you love punk, seek the groove, or just want something unapologetically different, Drug Store Raid delivers.
