The Drowning Men

As the band began to pick up momentum from songwriting and shows, Jay's position at the up and coming clothing company Brixton called for most of his daily attention.

Kill The Matador was released, as well as their first full album, Beheading of the Songbird, and as the band was continuing to work on various songs for their next record.

As the band discussed potential names, Nato always had one that stuck in his head, he mentioned it to the other members, and the band agreed that "The Drowning Men" seemed to fit perfectly (Nato credits Nick Cave's poetry book And the Ass Saw the Angel).

Gabe had mixed the band a number of times as the house engineer for Hensley's Pub.

The band has released the 2007 EP Kill the Matador, the 2009 Pall Jenkins produced LP Beheading of the Song Bird,[1] and, in 2012, All Of The Unknown.

The Drowning Men opened the Green 17 2011 Tour for Moneybrother and Flogging Molly.

Borstal Beat re-released The Drowning Men's 2009 album, Beheading Of The Songbird on October 25, 2011, followed by the band's next All Of The Unknown on July 17, 2012.
