With rabid audiences worldwide clamoring for a taste of Seattle rockers The Drowns' latest album Blacked Out, a 7' single release was inevitable! This presented the band and Pirates Press Records with a unique conundrum, however: how do you pick a single with an entire album chock full of wall-to-wall rock 'n roll anthems and no 'B-sides'?The only possible answer is this: the double A-side single 'Just the Way She Goes' / '1979 Trans Am.' On an album of swaggering, glam-in- fused rock with punk heart, these two standout singles are bound to get fans' motors revving and hips swaying, all the while building even greater anticipation for the forthcoming album!Both of these singles pay tribute to very different vehicles and the lifestyles that go with them. 'Just the Way She Goes' examines the life of a rock band's relationship with their cantankerous tour van, as a metaphor for perseverance and optimism in the face of life's adversity. 'We all break down from time to time,' relates singer & bassist Andy Wylie, while the music propels the listener forward with enough spirit and energy to overcome any setback. '1979 Trans Am' on the other hand, fronted by singer-guitarist Aaron Rev Peters, is The Drowns' take on the classic rock 'n roll story of 'boy-meets-girl, boy & girl go for a joyride in a classic muscle car,' with a steady backbeat that will get any listener moving!TRACK LIST:SIDE
