L.S. Dunes have released a brand new song called “Benadryl Subreddit.” The track is the band’s first effort since the release of their debut LP last year. Stream the official music video below now.
The song was produced by Alex Newport (Mars Volta, Frank Turner, City & Colour) and recorded at Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, CA.
“‘Benadryl’s title comes from a conversation that Mikey Way (My Chemical Romance) and I were having one night on tour about sober guys finding out legal ways of getting high without doing actual drugs and messing with their sobriety,” says guitarist Frank Iero. “The music for this song came about when I knew we were going into the desert to record with Alex Newport at Rancho De La Luna. I had just received a new guitar in the mail from Ben Wasser at Guitarworks called ‘The Shaft’ and I got to thinking about the desert and what I thought that guitar should sound like in that setting. That riff came out immediately. ‘Benadryl Subreddit’ represents the heat of the day out in the desert, sweating bullets and going fast.”
“In the early stages of the demo, it was clear this song needed to be recorded and released sooner than many of the other songs we’ve been working on,” shares guitarist Travis Stever. “It captures an energy for the moment. It’s hard to keep hold of the energy and aim from demo to final recordings. I feel like with Alex Newport we did it!”
Drummer Tucker Rule concurs, saying, “Frank sent this infectious riff, and I immediately knew what I was going to play. The chemistry of this band is undeniable, and I love it so much.”
L.S. Dunes are going out on tour this summer, playing a string of headlining shows and festival appearances.
