Lab Rat’s New Single ‘Drunk’ Is the Ultimate Anthem for Beautiful Chaos

Published

on

Ever turned a messy breakup into a masterpiece? Lab Rat has—and his latest single “Drunk”, out now via Mushroom Pillow, proves it. Born from the ashes of a toxic relationship, the track blends raw emotion with electrifying grunge-punk energy, making it a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt like life was spiraling out of control.

“I wrote the bassline six years ago when I was in a bad relationship,” Lab Rat—aka Dylan James—says. “We’d have huge fights, break up, and then call each other drunk at 3 a.m. to ‘work things out.’” “Drunk” takes that intensity and spins it into a gritty anthem for anyone who’s felt trapped in a cycle of passion and pain. The thundering rhythm section and haunting guitars capture the feeling of those 3 a.m. moments perfectly.

But this track isn’t just about chaos—it’s about transformation. Lab Rat’s story is one of resilience: after reclaiming his life from addiction and tragedy, Dylan found solace in music, eventually signing with the European label Mushroom Pillow to bring his sound to the world stage. His debut single “Exit Path” turned heads, and “Drunk” is ready to hit even harder.

Whether you’re reliving a whirlwind romance or just need something loud to scream along to, “Drunk” is your new go-to. Listen now and let Lab Rat take you on a wild ride:
