Mark and Alex formed Simple Creatures while on downtime in-between blink-182 and All Time Low albums and they will unleash their as-yet-untitled debut EP in March 2019.
Commenting on ‘Drug’, Mark Hoppus said: “Drug is always the first song we play people when introducing them to Simple Creatures, so it only makes sense that it’s the first single. I love the ratty guitar lead mixed with the thumping kick drum. Lyrically, the song is about being destroyed by the things you love.”
Alex adds: “Drug is a song about someone or something you want the most, being terrible for you... Feels great until it doesn’t, but then you can’t stop. In the studio it felt immediately like it was the song that best defined Simple Creatures; it’s gritty, grimy, rooted in the musicality we both came up on, but with a twist that takes it away from anything we’ve worked on before.”
