Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus and All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth have started a new band together, Simple Creatures.

They have immediately released their debut single called “Drug” and their debut EP will be released in March.

Talking about the band and the track, Mark said:
“Drug is always the first song we play people when introducing them to Simple Creatures, so it only makes sense that it’s the first single.
I love the ratty guitar lead mixed with the thumping kick drum. Lyrically, the song is about being destroyed by the things you love.”

Alex added:
“Drug is a song about someone or something you want the most, being terrible for you… Feels great until it doesn’t, but then you can’t stop. In the studio it felt immediately like it was the song that best defined Simple Creatures; it’s gritty, grimy, rooted in the musicality we both came up on, but with a twist that takes it away from anything we’ve worked on before.”

Zakk Cervini helped write the debut single, a producer who has already worked with both bands and many other amazing artists.
