In a 2018 interview with i-D, Bladee explained the meaning of the name “Drain Gang”:
#Drain is about loss and gain; it could be good or bad — you could be drained of energy or you could drain something to gain energy. There’s financial, emotional and physical drains, for example — you could just be draining your bank account at the store. It doesn’t have to be deep. Basically, if I’m talking about ‘eating the night’ that means I drain it for its essence. Everything me and my bros do is connected to that concept — we might drain some blood for good fortune.
The group is also known for their clothing, released as Official Drain© Licensed Product, as well as under Ecco’s label g'LOSS.
