Drian is back with Living Proof, the hardcore band's second album and follow-up to California Cursed (2000, Revelation). This time around the band will release the new album on Epitaph Records.

“I hope with this record that when someone hears it, it gives them hope,” says vocalist Sammy Ciaramitaro. “This is the soundtrack of perseverance and people overcoming the naysayers in their world and inside themselves. I can’t wait to play these songs and hear a room full of people singing back to us. We’re what the title says, the Living Proof.”

The band formed in 2014 in Santa Cruz, CA, and has one LP and two EPs to their name thus far.

California Cursed
Revelation (2020)

Santa Cruz is a convoluted place. It feels like the rest of the country erroneously thinks Santa Cruz is just like Santa Monica. It’s much more of a town than a city, and in a lot of ways it’s a microcosm of everything in California: conflicted and nuanced, beauty found at a high price with an oft-ignored grimy underbelly.
