The guitar trailing off at the end sounded kinda Nirvana-style to me. The Loveless Bros. are great - I just hope that band relations aren't *permanently disrupted* .
As previously mentioned, definitely a Fugazi feel to this, and I bloody love it!!! We need to support up and coming British talent like this, keep the good stuff coming please...
I completely agree, but sometimes a comparison to another band is a lot more accessible than a description of style. "Band X sounds like Band Y mixed with Band Z" gives a listener a much more instant idea of what the band sounds like than "Band X take genre A and genre B and blend them together with the occasional reference to genre C to make something which sounds truly unique". Although often innaccurate, band name checking is often the most effective way to draw the eye of the newcomer.

Yes of course it is, but if you were someone introducing somebody to Drenge, or you were a reviewer writing for an audience that had within it people unfamiliar with the band, a comparison to another more well known band(s) is a concise way of summarising their sound, as long as the comparison is accurate and well thought out. At least we can agree on the Black Keys being a shitty comparison.
Is it not better to just describe their sound? That way, you get the same effect as if you said 'They sound like X', except without any subjective connotations associated with the band you're comparing them to
Disrupted band relations. That's cute, like indie heavybrock kids glued to their radios in 99. But where' the bass player, the keyboards, the singer, or explanation about why they're a two piece.
you know what... just sleep. Become my sleeping beauty. When you awake, you will see a new world and realize what you made before has already ben dun son. Keep trying.
I don't get the Black Key's comparison. Drenge are so much faster, heavier and punkier than Black Keys, although i like both bands. Anyone care to provide an alternative opinion?
Its' just a lazy comparison because theyre both two piece bands, obviously made by someone who hasn't listened to one/either of the bands properly and/or has little or no musical knowledge.
Why talk about who they sound like? Because it greatly affects the way in which people perceive them. Who cares? Anybody who is either new or only vaguely familiar with the band. Oh and also most of the journalists who seem to be writing reviews about them.
you've seriously disrupted band relations
I'm hearing The Smiths and The White Stripes. And it's absolute class.
I can hear some Joy Division influence, especially in "We can do what we want"
Saw Drenge at Reading festival and they were amazing, definitely would watch them again!!!
Amazing
I like the UK'S current Grunge Revival movement
The guitar trailing off at the end sounded kinda Nirvana-style to me. The Loveless Bros. are great - I just hope that band relations aren't *permanently disrupted* .
Well, band relations are now disrupted, aren't they?
Come to Australia for me!!! DO IT!!!
They're so adorable
so good live
Just awesome. A perfect blend between grunge and stoner!
so fucking pumped to see this band in january in manchester holy fucking shit on my balls its gonna be so fucking good
This band is class. How have I only just heard of them.
As previously mentioned, definitely a Fugazi feel to this, and I bloody love it!!! We need to support up and coming British talent like this, keep the good stuff coming please...

does anyone know any new young bands like drenge keeping real rock n roll alive?
Royal Blood are worth a look.
Rob Fraser no they are not
WET NUNS
Wet Nuns can't be considered as a "new young band" anymore, seen as though they split up almost 2 years ago and the drummer sadly passed away
darlia, wolf alice, the wytches, slaves, bloody knees, fidlar, wavves, honeyblood, the orwells, superfood, temples, peace, alvvays, happyness, yak, menace beach, baby strange. if u want more just shout :)
No, I think you're right. I think if people are thinking Drenge are like the Black Keys, then they just don't know much about music.
Can't wait to see them support The Cribs! This song is awesome!
so so so sick
jolly good show.
love love love
Your hot
THIS MAKES ME WANT TO GET A BAND TOGETHER SO MUCH
Great song
saw them life at Portsmouth it were incred
This song is seriously fucking sick
EXCELLENT.
Love it!
Just discovered this. Where the fuck have I been?
Black key's with attitude!
0:32 sounds straight out of a White Stripes song, love it
Love it
This song is cool
Yes.
Hello. Any recommendations for bands/artists? Thank you.
+Slab - royal blood
+Slab - Highly Suspect
+Slab - Darlia, Graveyard, Dead Sara
+Slab - The Magic Gang :)
the big moon
can someone tell me another song as sick as this please

These are going to be massive come festival season
This reminds me a lot of JEFF the brotherhood.
saw this shit live nottingham rescue rooms!!
damn that's tight
This band is fuckin'awesome! 👍👍👍🎸
Really cool band!!
Can someone write the lyrics
Im not english so i dont understand everything
I'm fucking in love with these guys! I think you name is genius (I'm Dane) it must sound crazy at the concerts hahaha
Your voice reminds me so much of Ian Curtis'
Got me grinning like Nirvana did 20 years ago!
Thanks.
You guys sound gr8 for 2 peice. Nice!
golden earring
Can some one tell me the sense of the lyrics? i'm not english so i dont catch it all...I suppose he talks about horse race but im not sure...
seeing them tonght
I can't seem to get the strumming pattern quite right for this- anyone got an idea?
+guitargirl the way I play it is an open upstroke then hammer on the note then down stroke with a palm mute
Rhythm on this track is a bitch, I can't figure it out for the life of me, probably one of their hardest songs to play
What country are these guys from?
Castleton, England
Just what you would exect from a night at Owlerton
GRUNGE
I see what you mean. I'd rather not use those descriptions, but each to their own, I guess : )
Anybody got the tabs for this song ?
How do you pronounce the name?
All you need is a guitarist and drummer for this sound!
filmed in the city of steel
So, Humbug?
Sheffield
"YOU'VE SERIOUSLY DISRUPTED BAND RELATIONS"
rowdy

That riff is fucking dirty
Garage grunge.
Is it not better to just describe their sound? That way, you get the same effect as if you said 'They sound like X', except without any subjective connotations associated with the band you're comparing them to
TABS PLEASE!!
Disrupted band relations. That's cute, like indie heavybrock kids glued to their radios in 99. But where' the bass player, the keyboards, the singer, or explanation about why they're a two piece.
fugazi-tastic
his voice sounds a bit like lee ranaldo's, nas stuff
you know what... just sleep. Become my sleeping beauty. When you awake, you will see a new world and realize what you made before has already ben dun son. Keep trying.
Nirvana meets the Smith
huh....my nose is bleeding.
I don't get the Black Key's comparison. Drenge are so much faster, heavier and punkier than Black Keys, although i like both bands. Anyone care to provide an alternative opinion?
Fucking mega.
lol!!!! youve seriously disrupted band relations
im pretty solid with a cow bell. Just saying... Or that wooden piece of crap that goes "scraaa tacha scraaa tach aaaaaargh"
Tweeted @unsignedbandsonline
gotta love Hillsborough ;)
I just heard about this band on a political show.
Im soooo mad at a friend of mine! He should be playing drum and im a guitar player and it pisses me off sooo much he's not more into drum playing!!!!!
drenj
People are gonna die in those mosh-pits! And it will be a noble death.
reminds me of mudhoney
Hahaha. I think the 'director' in this case was just one of their mates waving a camera around. But nice try buddy.
Sound like Nirvana and Queens of The Stone Age had a baby
Its' just a lazy comparison because theyre both two piece bands, obviously made by someone who hasn't listened to one/either of the bands properly and/or has little or no musical knowledge.
So, Black Keys? Listen to Thickfreakness and tell me they don't have attitude

Who cares? Anybody who is either new or only vaguely familiar with the band. Oh and also most of the journalists who seem to be writing reviews about them.
