Culture Abuse Premiere Unruly New Single “Dream On”

The Bay Area band’s debut album Peach is out this April.

March 09, 2016

Bay Area garage/pop/punk outfit Culture Abuse are releasing their debut full length, Peach, this April on 6131 Records. The band describe themselves as "kinda grunge, kinda punk, kinda hardcore, definitely a good time," and you can hear all of that on their new single "Dream On" (no, it's not an Aerosmith cover). "Dream On" is the kind of song that has you progressing from foot tapping to head nodding to dancing and jumping around in a matter of minutes. It's also a distinct celebration of surviving life by following your heart, though Culture Abuse might not put it quite that sappily.

"Wrote this song over a year ago in New York City," Culture Abuse vocalist David Kelling recounted to The FADER in an email. "At the time, in my head, it was dark and sarcastic. Once we started writing for Peach I looked at it completely different. Do whatever you want, enjoy yourself.”
