L.S. Dunes are back with their first new music of 2023, Benadryl Subreddit.
The riffy garage-rock offering marks the rock supergroup's first single since their 2022 debut LP, 'Past Lives'.
Comprising Anthony Green of Circa Survive, Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance, Travis Stever of Coheed And Cambria, and Tim Payne and Tucker Rule of Thursday's rhythm section, the band recorded the track at Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, California with Alex Newport producing. Iero said:
"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. 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," commented guitarist 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 Rule added: "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."
