Drain just dropped a new track that punches just as hard emotionally as it does sonically. “Stealing Happiness From Tomorrow” is a furious, four-minute whirlwind of hardcore and metal chaos — but there’s something deeper driving this one. The video is dedicated to founding drummer Tim Flegal, who’s currently fighting cancer. It’s the first time he’s ever missed shows in the band’s 11-year history.
The clip shows Drain doing what they do best: hitting the road, raising hell, and unleashing their signature brand of high-energy mayhem. But Tim’s absence is felt — and the dedication gives the whole thing a heavier weight. It’s not just a music video; it’s a tribute.
The track is taken from their upcoming third album …Is Your Friend, out November 7 via Epitaph Records. If this song is anything to go by, we’re in for a wild one. The record was tracked live (no click tracks, no digital trickery), produced by Jon Markson (The Story So Far, Drug Church), and designed for one thing: maximum chaos in the pit. Drain literally built this album around what goes off hardest at their shows — so yeah, it’s going to be rowdy.
This is the follow-up to Living Proof, their 2023 game-changer that helped launch them onto massive tours and even arena shows with Blink-182. Now, they’re back with another round of circle-pit anthems, crowd-killing riffs, and gang vocals that are made to be screamed back. The band — Sammy Ciaramitaro, Cody Chavez, and Tim Flegal — are on a mission to bring the hardcore scene together and make sure no one stands still.
“Stealing Happiness From Tomorrow” is more than just a new single — it’s a reminder of what Drain are all about: community, energy, and heart. Hit play and get ready to move.
