Taking their name from seminal Britpop band Suede’s 1992 debut single, New York City’s Drowners prepare to unleash their modern-day revival of that classic indie-pop sound. The band is fronted by Matthew Hitt, a Welsh-born former full-time professional male model, who has called New York his home now for the past two years. In April, the four-piece group signed to Frenchkiss Records, and, after a few important show at the recent CMJ Music Marathon, it’s currently putting the finishing touches on the upcoming record, scheduled for an early 2014 release. – LINK: Dave Cromwell‘s interview with Drowners.
