"WHAT IS A DRUGRAT ANYWAY?"

A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK US HERE AT DRC "WHAT IS A DRUGRAT?" AND WE HAVE MANY RESPONSES, THE FIRST BEING THIS: ALL THE COLLECTIVE ARTISTS, GROUPS, STAFF AND EXTENED FAMILY AT DRC RECORDS CALL OURSELVES DRUGRATZ. IT IS A NAME AND BRAND THAT REPRESENTS THE COLLECTIVE AS A WHOLE, VOLTRON STYLE IF YOU WILL.

SECOND- DRUGRATZ IS A LOVING NAME WE GIVE OUR FANS WHO FOLLOW THE MUSIC WE CREATE AT DRC, WHICH INCLUDES BANDS LIKE BRING ON DEATH, OTTOMIC BLUE, COOLER THAN SMACK, DEADZONE, ACIDROP, ETC. WHO REPRESENT THE DRATZ LIFESTYLE.  IT’S A WAY TO MAKE THE FANS FEEL SPECIAL AND UNIQUE AND A WAY TO SHOW THEM WE CARE ABOUT THEM PERSONALLY AND THAT THEY’RE MORE THAN A DEMOGRAPHIC TO DRC RECORDS AND OUR SISTER LABEL LINOLEUM RECORDS.THE DRUGRAT LIFESTLYE IN FACT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DRUGS AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HOW YOU CARRY YOURSELF IN LIFE, NOT CARING WHAT THE WORLD OR ANYONE IN IT THINKS ABOUT YOU, BEING LOYAL TO YOUR FRIENDS, DOING THE RIGHT THING IN LIFE, TAKING THE RISKS TO DO SOMETHING GREAT CREATIVELY AND GREAT IN LIFE, AND RELATING TO THE EXPERIENCE AND PAIN IN DRC MUSIC AND USING THAT TO GET OVER WHAT EVER TROUBLE FACES YOU IN LIFE. WE ARE ONE WITH OUR FANS, ALL FOR ONE- ONE FOR ALL! DRUGRATZ IS THE FAMILY YOU'VE NEVER HAD, BUT NOW YOU DO! WE UNDERSTAND YOU AND BELIEVE IN YOUR RIGHT TO BE YOURSELF!

THIRD- A DRUGRAT IS ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH MANY TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS IN LIFE AND STILL FOUND A WAY TO OVERCOME THEM: THE OUTCASTS, MISFITS, LOSERS, FREAKS, GEEKS, AND OUTSIDERS OF THE WORLD UNITED UNDER THE DRUGRAT SYMBOL AS A FAMILY. DRUGRATZ WORK HARD AND PLAY HARDER. DRUGRATZ WILL PUT THEIR JUNK ALL UP IN YOUR PANCAKES AT IHOP IF YOU PISS THEM OFF. DRUGRATZ BUMP MUSIC THAT THEY CAN TRULY CALL THEIR OWN. DRUGRATZ ALSO CAN BE SOMEONE WHO HAS GONE THROUGH SOME KIND OF ADDICTION, WHETHER IT BE DRUGS, FOOD, GAMBLING, OR COW TIPPIN', AND HIT ROCK BOTTOM THEN GOT UP, DUSTED THE DIRT OF THEIR SHOULDERS, AND TRIED AGAIN UNTIL THEY GOT IT RIGHT. DRUGRATZ DON'T DIE, WE MULTIPLY!!!!!!!

SO WEAR THE DRATZ LOGO WITH PRIDE AND WHEN SOMEONE ASKS YOU WHAT IT MEANS, TELL THEM,"YO! RATZ RUN AND PACKZ" AND WALK AWAY SMILING KNOWING YOUR FAMILY GOT YOUR BACK NICCUP~~~~~~~
