Pairing an obsession with the <a href="spotify:artist:3yY2gUcIsjMr8hjo51PoJ8">Smiths</a> with a moniker taken from a <a href="spotify:artist:6PHIK3kjWggLtVygsOtpqS">Suede</a> song, one would think that the Drowners would hail from London, or at the very least, Manchester, when in truth the stylish post-punk quartet fronted by a former male model calls the New York City borough of Brooklyn home. Formed in 2012 around the talents of Welsh transplant/frontman Matthew Hitt (vocals, guitar), Jack Ridley (guitar), Erik Lee Snyder (bass), and Lakis E. Pavlou (drums), the band, who invoke names like the <a href="spotify:artist:0epOFNiUfyON9EYx7Tpr6V">Strokes</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4fSPtBgFPZzygkY6MehwQ7">the Libertines</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:0Ak6DLKHtpR6TEEnmcorKA">the Vaccines</a>, released their debut EP, Between Us Girls, through the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Frenchkiss%22">Frenchkiss</a> label in 2013. An eponymous full-length outing arrived the following year, and in 2016, the band released their sophomore studio long-player On Desire. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
