GLUECIFER RE-SIGN WITH STEAMHAMMER + ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM SAME DRUG NEW HIGH — PRE-ORDER
SINGLE + VIDEO “THE IDIOT” OUT NOW — WATCH + LISTEN
21 years after their last studio album, rock kings GLUECIFER have re-signed with Steamhammer and proudly announce SAME DRUG NEW HIGH, a new studio album arriving January 16 of next year.
At a time when the world’s inflationary desire for change seems to stop at nothing and no one, GLUECIFER appear to be the proverbial solid rock.
The Norwegian band, one of the most successful in their country, immediately returned to their former strength after their reunion in spring 2018. Gluecifer continue to play their passionate melange of irresistible punk rock, traditional rock ‘n’ roll, and dazzling glam elements — just the way their fans want to hear it. The new studio album, SAME DRUG NEW HIGH leaves no doubt that founding members Biff Malibu (vocals) and Captain Poon (guitar), plus long-standing bandmates Raldo Useless (guitar), Danny Young (drums), and Peter Larsson (bass), sound not only more mature and skilled, but also more versatile and determined than ever.
In conjunction with today’s album announcement, GLUECIFER have also released the video for new single “THE IDIOT.”

“Fast lyrics have always spelled rock ‘n’ roll. It hails back to the great Little Richard. The song draws on Gluecifer’s core influences. Fast and heavy, and some double bass drums thrown in for good measure,” says singer Biff Malibu. “The lyrics are a string of observations I’ve made on the streets surrounding a park in Oslo actually called The Idiot (“Iddioten” in Norwegian). This also happens to be the neighborhood where I live. You can call this a piece of hyper-local and short-haul rock.”
SAME DRUG NEW HIGH TRACK LISTING:
“The Idiot“
“Same Drug New High”
“Armadas”
“I’m Ready”
“The Score”
“Pharmacity”
“1996”
“Made in the Morning”
“Mind Control”
“Another Night, Another City”
“On the Wire”
Since they got together in 1994, Gluecifer have played hundreds of shows and released a total of five albums plus countless singles, EPs, and compilations. After an extensive farewell tour, the band broke up in 2005. But Gluecifer were never forgotten by fans. As a result, their 2018 comeback not only met with huge acclaim, but was also celebrated by numerous concerts throughout Europe, including appearances at renowned festivals such as the Azkena Festival in Spain, Hellfest in France, and Tons Of Rock in Norway. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that their extensive fan base started to clamor for new songs and another studio album almost immediately. Gluecifer have fulfilled that request at last with Same Drug New High, which was composed, produced, and mixed in their hometown of Oslo.
