Slow Down They're Taking You Over...

The Drowners
Genre: Indie / Punk / Alternative From: London, United Kingdom

Cockney glam punk trio The Drowners (not to be confused with the Swedish powerpop group, The Drowners), are named after the Suede song of the same name (why did I write of the same name isn't that obvious!).

With a look that's best described as impoverished Manic Street Preachers it's hardly surprising that there's a Manics feel to the tracks on their myspace site


Check out 'Not A Love Song', unfortunately not a glam punk take on the PIL classic, a rough, raging, fearsome beast of a track that pummels you into submission with stilleto sharp guitars that could cut glass and a chorus that takes refuge in your brain and refuses to leave. It's angry, agit pop that Richey Edwards (it couldn't be, could it?) would have been proud to call his own.

The Drowners are 4 Real and they're taking you over.
