Sep 3, 2013Drenge’s debut is excellent, and it will no doubt have you appropriately ‘drenged’.

-
Q MagazineJan 27, 2014Too many of the riffs sound flimsy and thin when they should suckerpunch out of the speakers. [Oct 2013, p.100]
-
Aug 15, 2013Drenge brothers Rory and Eoin Loveless exhibit virtually no overt blues influences, relying instead on the heavily distorted guitar riffs common to grunge and garage-band psychedelia.
