Drug Rug is an indie duo born in Cambridge, MA, whose intimate harmonies and lo-fi pop sensibilities have earned a dedicated following. Formed in 2006 by Sarah Cronin and Tommy Allen after their paths crossed at the Middle East nightclub, Drug Rug began with a residency and a string of Boston-area shows that helped shape their early sound. Their debut album, released in 2007 on Black & Greene Records, drew praise for its bedroom-pop charm and strong vocal harmonies. In 2009, they released Paint the Fence Invisible, broadening their palette into tuneful 60s-revival pop/rock and introducing tracks like Never Tell that resonated with critics and fans alike. Over the years, Cronin’s expressive voice and the duo’s heartfelt arrangements have been highlighted in major indie outlets, positioning Drug Rug as a noteworthy chapter in Boston’s indie scene.
