Along their 90's contemporaries, Drugstore have always quietly stood away from the pack, carving their own distinctive micro-universe, populated by lost lovers, misfits and wine-whisperers.

Had anyone actually thought about it, Drugstore should have been branded Alt-indie-country - as Isabel’s smoky vocals and pitch-dark lyrical subject matter, coupled with the band’s minimalist, melancholic guitar and string arrangements.

Have landed 2x top 50 album and a top 20 single, Drugstore's music nimbly hops over the ages, from 1920s Berlin cabaret through the French chanson tradition, via The Velvet Undergrounds woozy melodic charm and Tom Waits’ bar-room badinage, across PJ Harveys earnest intellect and The Bad Seeds’ rumbling, angry melancholia.

The band was formed in 1993 when Isabel Monteiro and american drummer Mike Chylinski got together via a flat-share in East London and signed with a major deal with GoDiscs. Soon, american guitarist Dave Hunter went back to the US, and they were joined by Daron Robinson.

Their 1st self diy single 'Alive' draw an unprecedented amount of attention, earning the band their first of many 'single of the week'. With a major contract with maverick label GoDiscs! (home of Portishead and Paul Weller) the band recorded their first album, 'Drugstore'.

On the road, non-stop tours headlining and supporting a number of great bands like the Tindersticks, the Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley - and playing at festivals in Europe and UK - Glastonbury, T In The Park, Reading and many others.

The band landed a top 20 hit, with the single 'El President' a duet with Radiohead's Thom Yorke and a tribute to socialist Chilean President Salvador Allende.

Re-discover another sad songs and more tales from the other side of the beautiful music of Drugstore.
