About Me

//History//
Try Drowning started in December 2003. The goal was to capture pure energy and emotion in loud rock music, influenced by the likes of Far, Faith No More, Placebo, Alien Ant Farm and At The Drive In.
Since December 2003, Try Drowning has released a self-titled demo (2004) and their debut-EP A Different Kind Of Winter (2005), which was very well received by the national press. From the start, Try Drowning has done performances all over The Netherlands, including renowned venues such as Melkweg, Tivoli and Paradiso. Try Drowning has shared the stage with many great bands such as Therapy?, Seether, Textures, The Maple Room, Wagtale, Sunset Vertigo and many, many more.
