Drenge

Undertow

(Infectious Music)

Having labelled fellow hard-rock duo Royal Blood as "too poppy", brothers Eoin and Rory Loveless return as Drenge with an album that dips a toe into similarly polished waters.

Compared to the grungy energy of their debut, the sound is fuller and more produced. It's a necessary evolution, the next stage in their growth as a band, but it doesn't always come off.

"Never Awake" plods along like a Kasabian offcut, although "Standing In the Cold" expertly revives their old heaviness in the new smarter setting. The hits outweigh the misses.
