Their earliest tracks took shape at Li\u00e8ge\u2019s legendary KOKO studio, where three rebels\u2014soon a four\u2011piece\u2014ignited a sound that\u2019s equal parts haunting and electrifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By March&nbsp;2023, they were tearing up stages from Wallonia to Brussels, barreling through northern France and the Netherlands. Each show felt like a rite of passage: guitars howled, floors rattled, and your pulse kept time with the beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After dropping a blistering EP in early&nbsp;2024, DRUUGG hit the road again\u2014spreading the gospel of fuzz through Flanders and France\u2014before retreating home to craft their full\u2011length debut. Now, that record is set to light up spring&nbsp;2025 via Brussels\u2011based EXAG\u2019 Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4224.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4224-1024x1024.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"DRUUGG Lost cover artwork \" class=\"wp-image-41941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4224.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4224.jpeg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4224.jpeg?resize=150%2C150 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4224.jpeg?resize=768%2C768 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4224.jpeg?w=1200 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u2018Lost\u2019 track list<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>M\u00e9lop\u00e9e<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Je Croyais Pouvoir T\u2019oublier<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lost<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feel It<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Through The Waves<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Danser Contre Ton Corps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Light Is Gone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay Away<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rise<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find DRUUGG Online<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/druugg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Website<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/druuggband\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/druugg.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a world drowning in chaos, DRUUGG is the cure you didn\u2019t know you needed.
