SPB featured stream: Cut-Rate Druggist - Blistering

Posted in Records on April 1, 2026

We're pleased to bring you a full stream of Blistering, a new full-length album from Cut-Rate Druggist of Oakland, CA.

Out on April 7, this is your spot to hear it early and often, courtesy of the band, DCxPC Records, and Scene Point Blank. Rules are made to be broken, so this is actually a studio album from the mostly-live label DCxPC.

The duo are built on a drum and bass foundation, delivering full wattage rock 'n' roll schooled in punk, grunge and maybe even a bit of classic rock.

 

Cut-Rate Druggist formed in 2019, following the members' previous jaunts in bands that include Fabulous Disaster and Nobodys, then later together in Year Of The Fist, Squeaky, and hal9000 Beers.

The band is touring Japan, the US West Coast and Europe this year, with more dates being announced regularly.
