DRAG - new single from SleazyPunk band
DRAG are handing the future of their band over to their fans and the public, with the release of two FREE singles. Instead of asking for monetary payment, the release comes with the simple request of “spread the word”.
“Neurotica” and “#FINE” form a double-A-side release that explore the darker side of the human psyche, without restrain or apology. They are two of DRAG’s most anticipated tracks as chosen by their fans for release.

DRAG are a female fronted sleazy-punk band from Birmingham, who provide an example of hardc word and determination in today’s difficult music industry, racking up several successful releases and gigs to rival that of signed national bands.
Despite being an independent band, DRAG have supported the likes of Toyah Wilcox, appeared in the international Skin Deep tattoo magazine, performed live at Kerrang! Radio and received huge critical acclaim in America – without the help of a label.
After self-funding and releasing two EP’s, DRAG are now taking this direction to establish a
different relationship with new and existing fans. Inspired by the fan-sourcing business approach of international music maverick Amanda Palmer, who encouraged bands to reach out to fans in her recent TED Talk called “The Art of Asking”, Palmer herself has in the past said of DRAG: “Great tracks, I love the band!”
Quote: “In today’s financial climate, record labels are under pressure to make decisions based on risk and money, often commanding a large percentage of the profits in return. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and industry knowledge and it has paid off in the past. By essentially asking our fans to help promote us in return for free music, between us we can do the job of an independent label without sacrificing ownership.” – Heather, lead singer
