Drenge are an English blues rock band based in Castleton in Derbyshire. The band is made up of Eoin Loveless, on guitar and vocals, and his younger brother Rory, on drums. They take their name from the Danish word for "boys", although it is pronounced differently. The boy rose to prominence following the resignation of Labour MP Tom Watson from the Shadow Cabinet in July 2013^[1], who wrote in his resignation letter on his blogg "be that great Labour leader that you can be, but try to have a real life too. And if you want to see an awesome band, I recommend Drenge", although they had a small following and had been picked up by national media at least some seven months previously^[2]

Drenge have toured extensively in the UK, also appearing at Glastonbury Festival, Latitude Festival, and will be at the upcoming Reading and Leeds Festival. They have also toured with Californian duo Deap Vally, including a hometown appearance at Sheffield's Queens Social Club^[3].
