Anders Tillaeus, Martin Lundgren and Sinisa Krnjaic formed Drabness in the summer of 1994.

The year after Morgan Gottfridsson was added on guitar, the band played many shows in the nearby area and recorded two more demo tapes.

In the beginning the main influences was bands like Snapcase, Earth Crisis, Refused, Breach, Biohazard and Sick of It All.

Some years later, after relocating to Malmö, some of the members formed the rock act Legrand.

Drabness has been confirmed to play a reunion concert at the Motala Hardcorefestival 3 August 2013.
