Drenge - We Can Do What We Want

The sound of two cool-ass brothers making ridiculously grimy riffs that snake every-which-way like a punk viper.

In many ways, it’s the same old Drenge. ‘We Can Do What We Want’ is still the sound of two cool-ass brothers making ridiculously grimy riffs that snake every-which-way like a punk viper. There’s even the obligatory war cry for a ridiculously dangerous/fun moshpit where most bands would slip in a middle-eight. But there’s something different this time round. This is ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE. Like, bigger than Zeus after taking a Super Mushroom; it’s all centred around a demonically addictive stomping groove. Scientists are still trying to find out how it came from only two people.

‘We Can Do What We Want’ all pivots on elephantine dirty hooks, and lyrics that tell the #haters to fuck right off, along with a newfound swagger that envelopes the whole track in lashings of confidence and boldness. It’s made the prospect of an upcoming new album ludicrously exciting, since Drenge seem to have found the perfect balance. Not only can they do whatever the hell they want, whatever that is, it’s bloody fantastic.

‘Undertow’ is released 6th April 2015 via Infectious Music.
