ABOUT
Our Story
As the Northeast’s ONLY Smashing Pumpkins Tribute Band Touring the U.S.--DROWN is dedicated to capturing the sweeping soundscapes, emotional depth, and alt-rock edge of one of the most iconic bands of the ’90s. From the raw power of Gish and the dreamy melancholy of Siamese Dream, to the epic ambition of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, the band delivers a powerful and immersive live experience that channels the heart and soul of the Pumpkins’ legacy.
More than a tribute, DROWN invites audiences to step back into the golden age of alternative rock — a time when introspection met intensity, distortion met beauty, and Billy Corgan’s voice became the anthem of a generation.
