Work Drugs is a Philadelphia based sedative-wave/smooth-fi project by Benjamin Louisiana (more instrumental/less vocal) and Thomas Crystal (more vocal/less instrumental).
Thomas met Ben in kindergarten class, but it wasn’t until they attended sailing school together that they fortified their musical friendship. Thomas and Ben bonded over traditional sailing shanties by the likes of Steely Dan, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald etc. When they overheard their schoolmate Joan humming along to Boz Scaggs, they had to invite her to work on some music with them and thus Work Drugs was formed.
Work Drugs claims to make music specifically for dancing, boating, yachting, sexting, and living. Or as they describe themselves on their Internet weblog: “Philadelphia’s premier Bat Mitzvah and Quinceanera party band.”
The band seems to be taking a pretty simple approach to getting their music out, by releasing a track with a video randomly, feeling out the response before planning their next move. No plans for touring, or even putting out a record, just setting loose their music.
