Canada’s NOBRO are back, and share rowdy new single ‘Let’s Do Drugs’. Previously they’ve had support from BBC6 Music’s Iggy Pop, Kerrang! Magazine, Rock Sound, CLASH, The Quietus, UPSET, DORK, DIY, Rough Trade, and more.

The four-piece band is comprised of Kathryn McCaughey (vocals/bass), Karolane Carbonneau (guitars), Lisandre Bourdage (keys/percussion), and Sarah Dion (drums). They opened for Blink-182 earlier this year, as well as supporting Alexisonfire, Billy Talent, Fidlar, The OBGMs, and a fictional band in the Netflix series The Imperfects even covered their songs.

The new single taps into the band’s wild side for an energy fuelled, tongue-in-cheek track. Here the band explains, “‘Let’s Do Drugs’ is a dumb rock song about getting older. It’s about wanting to have one more wild night, while having no business doing so and failing miserably. Musically it’s a middle ground between maybe ‘Fight for your right to party’ and ‘dirty deeds’, but only the dumbest bits of those songs, but distilled into something even more ridiculous. It’s like shotgunning a beer then immediately puking on yourself.”

The rabble rousers known as NOBRO are a Montreal based modern-punk band that first started jamming together in 2014, and make it clear that they aren’t interested in playing by whatever stupid rules have been set around them.

“As a musician or artist or even a woman, you have to throw off the weight of societal pressures and expectations, especially as you get older,” says McCaughey. “You have to take risks and chances.”

NOBRO is the space where the four of them get to take those risks and chances. It’s a place for cultivating power and happiness in a hard, mean world. That means the stakes are high. 

The band has been building NOBRO into one of the most fierce and exciting bands in Canada. Their new music rides the momentum from a string of blazing singles and EPs, capped with 2020’s Sick Hustle and 2022’s Live Your Truth Shred Some Gnar.

And they’re just getting started. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
