The Drowns (US) and Wonk Unit (UK) have announced a 2-song split 7", out on July
via Pirates Press Records.
The two bands, despite claiming hometowns across the pond from one another share a common link in that Simon Short, guitarist of The Drowns, previously played in Wonk Unit.
“Simon Wonk moved to the States, it was very sad and we miss him but he did start telling me about this cool band he’d met with a similar ethos to Wonk. We like people who are nice. The Drowns are nice, no bullshit people. Wonky people,” offers Alex Brindle Johnson, vocalist and songwriter for Wonk Unit.
On the split, each band has one brand new song.
Both bands are on tour this summer, with full schedules listed below.
