Massachusetts duo
Drug Rug, AKA
Tommy Allen and
Sarah Cronin, know a little about bands. Allen, a bartender at Bostons The Middle East worked up the nerve to talk to Cronin, who covers sounds and live recordings for the venue, and the duo quickly got together both musically and romantically. After swapping each others music, the pair recorded some demos together and eventually grabbed the ear of
Apollo Sunshine drummer/label head
Jeremy Black. What emerged was their self-titled debut, a beautiful, fuzzy mix of blues, folk and lo-fi sounds that sees frequent vocal harmonizing and recalls both Elephant 6 and classic 60s vocalist duos. After getting to know them a bit, Baeble picked the brains of two people who, combined, have seen thousands of bands over the past five years to find out the biggest mistakes bands make.
