Grind 'n' roll band. Our newest album "Asymmetrical" is out now.
We have a show in December with the gothy Palladists, the screamy Bodied, and the hardcore Betterplastic, at the ask-a-punk show space The Litterbox.
November 12, 2025 at 2:03 AM
We have a two-pack of shows in November!

On the 7th we're playing in Frederick MD and on the 8th in Richmond VA. We haven't been back to either town in a long time, so this'll be great.

We're a three-piece grind 'n' roll band from Northern Virginia, USA that started in 2002. We like to sing about politics and social subjects.

I'm happy to report that I'll be playing in a Killing Joke cover band for Halloween. They're one of my favorite bands and a huge influence, so it'll be a treat.

The next Drugs of Faith gig is at the always-enjoyable Pie Shop in D.C. We'll be playing with some grating and extreme bands, so it'll be a wild night. Here's the flyer.

We're playing Cafe Nola in Frederick, MD with Omit All and Gist on November 7, 2025. Three different sounding bands, which I like, so it should be a good time.

We'll see you at Haydee's in D.C. Wednesday night for a slim, shapely three-band show. We're opening for the two-piece sludge-crust band Thunderchief, and Crawler is closing the fast night out.

Our singer has a band with Person918x called Digital Negative and we have a new EP coming out called "Intersect." @idioteqcom.bsky.social wrote some interesting words about it and you can listen to it too.

We're heading into Virginia on September 12 to play the Super Rad Arcade Bar in Lynchburg with Doomsday Profit, Septic Vomit, and Palladists. It'll be a mad mixed bill!
June 27, 2025 at 1:14 AM
Fast update on our show at Songbyrd where we open for Eyehategod: Ilsa has been added to the bill! So there will be lots of heaviness at this gig from their side and from EHG.

No Clean Singing was kind enough to premiere a video from our side project, Digital Negative, and NCS had very nice things to say about it. Watch the video "The Blanks" here:

AN NCS VIDEO PREMIERE: DIGITAL NEGATIVE - "THE BLANKS" - NO CLEAN SINGING
(written by Islander) It’s unhealthy to live on red meat and potatoes alone, or so the health experts tell us, and even in the case of the bloody red and fungally infested music that’s often our daily fare around here, it’s sometimes wise to diversify our diet.
