Psychic Pigs Share Music Video for “I’m on Drugs” (Featuring Brandon from Crocodiles, Jonah from Fucked Up)
Today, we are thrilled to present the latest music video by Psychic Pigs, a dynamic duo consisting of Brandon Welchez from Crocodiles and Jonah Falco from Fucked Up. In a collaborative effort, these talented musicians came together to record at Jonah’s studio in London. Brandon showcased his expertise on stringed instruments while Jonah impressed on drums and took the reins on production duties. The result of their collaboration is the electrifying track, “I’m on drugs,” which delves into the experiences and consequences of drug use.
The lyrics of “I’m on drugs” candidly explore the tumultuous effects of substances like nose candy, sweet lady H, and other mind-altering substances reminiscent of the Grateful Dead lifestyle. Despite the edgy subject matter, the song is set against a backdrop of high-energy, garage rock vibes that make it irresistibly catchy. The raw power of the music almost romanticizes the idea of drug use, but it’s crucial to remember the serious risks and consequences associated with substance abuse.
Reflecting on the themes of the song, Brandon Welchez shared his perspective with Punknews, stating, “Life is the hardest drug. There is nothing under the sun you could snort, shoot, swallow or smoke that will mess you up as intensely as life itself. I’ve come to terms with this reality and navigate the world with the awareness of my addictive nature. It’s a disorienting and surreal journey, and yet, I find myself constantly craving more.” His words encapsulate the intense and sometimes destructive nature of the human experience, drawing parallels between the allure of drugs and the inherent challenges of existence.
