L.S. Dunes (My Chemical Romance, Thursday, Coheed And Cambria, etc.) have shared an official video for their new song “Benadryl Subreddit.” Guitarist Frank Iero said the following about that track:
“‘Benadryl‘s’ title comes from a conversation that Mikey Way [My Chemical Romance] and I were having one night on tour about sober guys finding out legal ways of getting high without doing actual drugs and messing with their sobriety. The music for this song came about when I knew we were going into the desert to record with Alex Newport at Rancho De La Luna.
I had just received a new guitar in the mail from Ben Wasser at Guitarworks called ‘The Shaft’ and I got to thinking about the desert and what I thought that guitar should sound like in that setting. That riff came out immediately. ‘Benadryl Subreddit‘ represents the heat of the day out in the desert, sweating bullets and going fast.”
Guitarist Travis Stever added:
“In the early stages of the demo, it was clear this song needed to be recorded and released sooner than many of the other songs we’ve been working on. It captures an energy for the moment. It’s hard to keep hold of the energy and aim from demo to final recordings. I feel like with Alex Newport we did it!”
