[@LawsonFilms]

Ravyn Reese new Drugs album should be coming out in the next year. Unfortunately I don’t think we will ever get this Chiodos again 😢

[@ravynreis]

@@LawsonFilms damn, but I NeED Ettt! *spongebob voice* ugh, thanks man. The Chiodos, Fall of Troy, At the Drive In, and Alesana.

[@Cringey_Swine]

Chiodos was always good but D.R.U.G.S. returning to the scene was probably the best thing to happen to me within the last 10 years and I'm not even capping🤣 They were always a die hard favorite for me and them finally returning and giving us another album was something that I wasn't expecting. Even though their latest record isn't really making major news I'm just glad to see them back in some form and playing all of the old(And new)stuff.

[@storingjazzinmycheeksforth5319]

this era wasn't chiodos, it was the two thomases feat. chiodos

Adtr member in the back at 0:52

[@ronniediaz94]

why is Thomas Pridgen playing with Chiodos here?

[@Cringey_Swine]

The other Chiodos members could never get along and this was one of the last lineups that they had. Joseph Troy from RX Bandits eventually filled in for Thomas Erak and the very last lineup itself had all touring members from other bands. I'm just hoping that Craig doesn't fuck up the return of D.R.U.G.S. but it just doesn't seem to be getting enough attention that they returned in March. On Craig's IG and Twitter he posted several photos of himself playing and practicing the guitar for the new D.R.U.G.S. album but I'm seriously hoping that it doesn't end up being just a one man project since the other members aren't even gonna be involved.

With waka flaka on drums

[@timeshhift87]

Sir Bo Secatero That's Thomas Pridgen, literally one of the best drummers in the world.

[@justintaslak530]

timeshhift87 seriously. Was really surprised he joined Chiodos though, they're definitely going to hold him back (compared to a group like Volta where he had lots of room to experiment and do whatever he wanted), though he could make the band better than ever. Edit: nvm just checked, he only toured with them in 2014, wasn't joining the band full time.
