Drenge announce their eagerly anticipated second album Undertow, due for release on Infectious Music on 6 April.
The first single from the record, We Can Do What We Want, is premiered today online and as the Hottest Record In The World on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show. T
Drenge are Rory Loveless and Eoin Loveless. Undertow is the follow up to their acclaimed self-titled debut album, released in summer 2013.
Written and recorded on tour last year, and between their hometown of Castleton and Sheffield, where the band now live, Undertow was produced by Ross Orton and, for the first time, features a third member, Rob Graham, playing bass on three songs; Graham joins the band for live shows.

Drenge last week played their first live shows of 2015, two low key dates in Leeds and Manchester, leading The Guardian to call them “a formidable, exciting live band, whose eruption of garage, grunge and space rock combines with Damned/Misfits-style crooning to turn the jam-packed audience into a heaving mass in minutes.”
An NME Awards Show takes place in London in February, and the band today announce a full UK tour to begin the week of Undertow’s release. All UK shows are 14+ with tickets priced at £12 (£13.50 in London).
