Drenge: From Derby to London Via [INSERT ANY NORTHERN TOWN]
Monday 22nd April 2013 | Adam
So I was thinking the other day, what actually happened to all those northern bands? You know, the guys always moaning about the places they grew up in, the guitar slingers with the shaggy hair and the viciously intoxicated lads you might find chucking drinks about in a dirty Sheffield club?
Bands like the Arctic Monkeys, they reignited an entire genre whilst salvaging global success and STILL being rowdy as fuck.
Well, we heard these the other day; Drenge. An unorthodox two-piece duo of brothers currently making more noise than North Korean politics (nearly). They sound so much like the music the upper-ends of this country was producing nearly a decade a go, only there are less of them, they shout louder and they are actually from.... Derbyshire?
Geographics aside, the vibrations of these guys have nearly rippled the airwaves all the way down to London. They plan on causing a ruckus in the big smoke over the coming months, or weeks; depending on how many of you are as mad on them as we are.
