Drinkme are fast earning a reputation as one of London’s most dynamic, innovative and exciting new live bands. They call their sound Permanent Wave - a diverse mix of influences ranging from 80s electronica to 70s punk and ska to Britpop. The band formed when guitarist / singer Julian (Whitey, Siobhan Fahey) and bassist / vocalist Ru began writing tracks together, melding their individual tastes into a tapestry of polished melodies and biting lyrics.Since then, drinkme have been widely lauded for their powerful live performances, headlining shows at Alan McGee’s Death Disco and The Queen Is Dead clubnights, as well as Sean Mclusky’s Sonic Mook Experiment and Return To New York. They have played gigs alongside The Libertines, The Others and Client to name just a few. They've amassed an impressive fanbase… all before releasing their debut single. Hype aside, drinkme have the credentials and more importantly, the class, to make a big impact in 2005. Get on the bandwagon now, and watch them kickstart something special. Drinkme release their debut single "Manifesto" on 20th June 2005. “Great rock and roll music” – Alan McGee, Radio 1 “All the quirky romance of a post-Britpop trio who know their way round a tune” – Steve Lamacq, Radio 1
