My first trip to Thunder Road included a set from hard rock harmonizers Goddamn Draculas.
Zip-Tie Handcuffs @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 5.1.2015
On the day of the 2015 Rumble Finals, I went back to see what I wrote about Zip-Tie Handcuffs the first time I saw them. Here’s a quote: “The wall of distortion and close-spaced vocal harmonies whipped through the crowd melting faces like the spirits at the end of Raiders Of The Lost Ark.” Yup. Nailed it. First try. Zip-Tie Handcuffs are your 2015 Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble Champions. I love it.

Goddamn Draculas @ The Middle East Downstairs 2.7.2015
The Drax were larger than life while releasing their new album at The Middle East. They took the stage in the big room and made it feel small. This was their moment and they made the most of it. Surrender to the Goddamn Draculas.
Goddamn Draculas @ Boston Music Awards 12.14.2014
Like Sidewalk Driver right before them, Goddamn Draculas took to the Space 57 Stage at the Revere Hotel to celebrate their Live Artist Of The Year nomination at the 2014 Boston Music Awards.

Goddamn Draculas took the stage in front of a packed house at the House of Blues opening for Cheap Trick. Understanding the gravity of the moment, the band unleashed a triumphant set of riffs, hooks, laughs, friendship and those trademark killer harmonies. Well done, gentlemen. You’ve done this city proud.

Goddamn Draculas are glorious creatures of the night. They typically dwell in dark places and use sound to lure in other nocturnal mammals. Then they party.

Goddamn Draculas @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.25.2014
Goddamn Draculas were the most consistently great band of the 2014 Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble. With the perfect mix of punch, polish, humor and harmonies, they left their mark. Goddamn Draculas are the 2014 Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble champs! Everyone gets a hug!

The illegitimate spawn of Journey and AC/DC just mainlined some punk rock and descended upon TT’s with a vengeance. Sweet, sweet harmonies wrap their black wings around you as their power chords go for the kill. Goddamn Draculas take Rumble Prelim Night #2.
