Describing themselves as an evocative, Alt-rock outfit, London quartet DROOL are another band shortlisted in Glastonbury’s 2019 Emerging Talent Competition.
Fusing late 80’s post-punk, 90’s grunge and short 60’s melodic structures, the band are a product of a very impulsive union and the story behind their coming together goes a little something like this: Early last year singer-songwriter, Joey Rogers and Drummer, Martin Söderin (formerly of VANT), struck up a chance conversation in an East End café. Having known each other for five minutes they decided to form a band and get Louis Greenway (Guitarist) and Joe Bennison (Bass Guitarist) to complete the line up…et voila, DROOL was born!
Already gathering a healthy following their reputation has earned the band a show at a couple of landmark rock n roll venues for scouting rising stars and they’ve already played Birmingham’s Sunflower Lounge and Camden Dingwalls.
DROOL’s sound skillfully combines influences from a range of decades, incorporating their love of Joy Division, Buzzcocks, Pixies, Nirvana and the post garage revival of The Vines and The Strokes. It’s a clever concoction because it authentically recycles old familiar sounds whilst generating something new and original.
Latest single Fun dances between slinky verse and raucous chorus, all the time drawing you in with its brassy melody and sleek vocals. It’s an easy listen and its got that something catchy? See what you think, check it out above and watch them perform it below.
