New Waves.. Drenge - 'Face Like A Skull'

Drenge are only a very recent acquisition of mine. I'd been aware of the press buzz for a while - along with a few other bands - however, I just hadn't happened across their music.

Until now! This here is there latest song, 'Face Of A Skull', which is set to be included on the band's self-titled debut, and it personifies what the band are about beautifully:-

Loud.
Rowdy.
Scuzzy.
Grungey.
Rawk!

'Face Of A Skull' - whilst still loud - feels marginally more streamlined than their previous songs (hear 'Backwaters'/'Necromance Is Dead'/Bloodsports' on the band's Soundcloud), where the energy of brothers Eoin and Rory Loveless can only be described as unbound and borderline crazed. This is rawk! And talking of 'rawk'(rock), it feels rare that you get a band these days that does it well; so many seem to fall into the - 'meh' - mediocre category, Drenge are primal!

I have now set my efforts into seeing this band live. Drenge are about to take off on an extensive UK tour, mixing in some dates on the festival circuit.

'Face Like A Skull' is out on 26th August.
Drenge's self-titled debut album is out 19th August.
