I ran across an album once on the internet by a band called Drug Store released in 2000 entitled “Psychedelic Coaster Ride”. I’ve never read anything on this group except that it was a Japanese Nu-Metal band. I’ve found nothing else on this group. I love the tracks and still have the album. It’s wild and cool. I wonder if anyone on this forum knows anything about the group, what happened to them? They sound like top tier musicians. I love their music. Any help will be appreciated.

Here is an excerpt from last fm about them
The Safer Than Heaven album seems to have one curiosity attached to it and that is that it came out on the same label as some Radwimps albums.
Despite what it says their last musical effort seems to be a mini album called “Love/Hate” (despite the album art saying “No Title” ) that came out in 2006. Those 2003 and 2006 releases are even on Spotify. There was also a Japanese band with similar name operating at the same time period called “Drug Store Cowboy” also playing alt rock/alt metal while having more of an almost soft kei sound

Have both albums mentioned here, didn’t know about the mini album, will go searching for that! As to what happened to them - like a load of Japanese underground bands, they just disappeared…there where no interviews or anything they just dipped around 2006 no more live shows etc, no disband announcement.
