Austin’s creepiest bad boys are back!

After a few years of wandering in the wilderness, Drakulas return to their spiritual home at Dirtnap Records (and Wild Honey Records in Europe/UK!) to unleash Midnight City upon the world!

Drakulas move in the shadows of a neoned, late‑’70s city—proto‑punk bite, garage grit, ’80s synth ghosts and new‑wave chill wrapped in world-building, nocturnal lyrics.

Conceived as an art experiment by Savage Lord Mic, Sam Francisco  (Riverboat Gamblers) and Pink Rick (Rise Against), and filled out with a rotating cast of sketchy characters, Drakulas quickly shed their daylight skins—black turtlenecks, medallions, VHS flicker—and became emissaries of a cinematic underworld where drugs, arcade lights, pornography and occult whispers score the streets. Their 3^rd LP, Midnight City turns up the musical quirk factor a bit, with fully-realized, inter-connected songs that are at the same time unsettling and yet weirdly danceable. Marvel as they emerge from the fog with a new full‑length on Dirtnap/Wild Honey—listen if you dare

We here at Dirtnap are beyond thrilled to announce that Drakulas (members of Riverboat Gamblers, Rise Against) have sought fit to return to Dirtnap for their 3rd album!

“Midnight City” will be out May 1st, 2025, more info to follow!
