Every now and again, I'll hear about a band that proudly wears their musical influences on their sleeves. Drowners are a fine example of this... the name is reportedly take from the debut SUEDE single and their sound has a Johnny Marr (Smiths) feel to it.
They kinda remind me of the Strokes/the Vaccines/the Libertines... all bands that have released debut albums I instantly took a liking to.
There's something incredibly easy about having this record on in the background because its like crawling in bed with a familiar lover.
