We blogged a few months ago about emerging NYC band Drowners, a quartet that can count on a fair amount of flair both in the songwriting and looks department – we love pictures that remind us of those black wearing bands from the late 70s – early 80s, you can’t go wrong with that!
From a quick glance at their Facebook "about us" page, it seems like a bunch of industry people have already taken notice – and action: Frenchkiss Records is mentioned as one of their labels, together with The Agency Group booking, while Tell All Your Friends’ top dog Kip Kouri is their publicist. That’s a team that can take this Morrisey influenced quartet places, so keep an ear on them. Check out their recent video for "Long Hair" here – mp3 streaming below. If The Smiths have a special place in your heart, you should check them out live when they headline Pianos on May 8th.
We added this song to The Deli’s playlist of Best songs by emerging NYC artists – check it out!
