Drew Thomas

Drew Thomas is carving out his own place in the grit-pop movement, blending anthemic rock with deeply personal storytelling. Hailing from Nottingham and currently making waves in London, Drew has spent the past decade crafting a sound that's as emotionally raw as it is powerful. His latest single, Do They Even Know You, released on 7th February, is a testament to his unwavering commitment to authenticity, with every note ringing with unflinching honesty.

Opening with a punchy hookline of bass, guitar, and drums, the track kicks off with a lyric that immediately sets the tone: "Do you tell them everything, but they never let you in." It’s a sentiment that cuts deep, capturing the emotional weight of toxic relationships and the disconnect that comes from being misunderstood. As Drew croons "Do they build you up just to let you fall, do they even know you at all?", the rawness of his voice is a sharp reminder of the personal stakes in his song writing.

By 47 seconds in, the chorus erupts into a raucous, layered sound. With reverb-heavy guitar, punchy drums, and supporting vocals, the track’s catharsis is undeniable. The intensity of the chorus adds a visceral edge to the song, propelling Drew's grit-pop style further into the spotlight. There’s a rebellious energy in Do They Even Know You that’s both nostalgic and new, pulling influence from the noughties rock wave while making it unmistakably Drew’s own.
