The four-piece stoner metal punk crew was born out of a desire to defeat the boredom of east coast living. Diner Drugs is fast, loud and is always keen to turn up the heat with catchy choruses and deep vocal harmonies while sticking to their deep stoner metal roots.
They’ve developed a reputation for their live performances plus lending east coast support to bands such as Cancer Bats, Red Fang, Dead Quiet and Mokomokai along with touring the Maritimes, Ontario and Quebec several times.
Jackson Landry (Guitar/Vocals) comments on their ECMA nomination:
"We are very stoked to be a part of this year's nominees and being nominated for an ECMA for the first time is extra exciting for the entire band. It means a lot to us to be nominated with such a great group of folks including two fellow New Brunswick Bands (Hero's Last Rite and SoundDrown). We appreciate everyone's support so much and we hope by the time May rolls around we are all actually able to make the trek to Sydney, NS to be a part of this year's awards/festival."
