London/LA Industrial rock act, Drownd, has announced their much-anticipated new EP, ‘Sick Like You’ The offering is a solid, atmospheric, provocative alt-rock track that underscores the band’s harsh and transgressive sound and diverse musicianship and includes remixes by Seething Akira and The Joy Thieves’. It also marks the group’s first release under their newly-inked partnership with the legendary industrial label Armalyte Records
Armalyte records said of the signing “We are extremely excited to announce the signing of DROWND to the Armalyte roster for three fantastic EP releases in 2019. Armalyte Records exists on three very simple principles, the music has to be memorable, top quality and #teamarmalyte has to be totally into it. We believe the addition of DROWND to Armalyte Records strengthens our already talented roster and puts industrial music, our reason to exist, into sharp focus for the label.
Not only are DROWND one of the most exciting new bands that we’ve ever been lucky enough to work with, but they are also the most comprehensively ambitious, for such a relatively new band, we’ve been amazed at the scope of their vision, which puts many, far more established, artists to shame. Coupled with this, DROWND have both great music and very strong visual presence, making them the complete package for us. We know they are going to hit hard.
Armalyte cannot wait to join DROWND as they begin fuelling the world with their own brand of filth, starting this April…”
DROWND comprises of front man Joe Crudgington, with the live band including lifetime friend Paul Traveler on Drums, Matt Sutton on bass guitar, Tom Hancock on lead guitar and Sophia Doe on rhythm guitar, with Jon Easthope adding extra percussion and electronics. DROWND personally produce, perform, and passionately conjure up dark alternative industrial sounds that are accompanied by strong visual concepts.
