# DRAIN

**DRAIN** is a more metal band, active 2014 to present.

Drain, stylized as DRAIN, is an American hardcore punk band formed in Santa Cruz, California, in 2014. Beginning without a set musical style, the 2015 hiring of vocalist Sammy Ciaramitaro and bassist-turned-guitarist Cody Chavez led the band to embrace a crossover thrash sound. They have released two demos, two EPs and three full-length albums. The New York Times credited Drain as a driving force of American hardcore's "renaissance" in the early 2020s.
