The name of band is a reference to the Suede debut single The Drowners while their style has been referred to as a revival of UK’s pop rock.
In the documentary The Britpop Story hosted by John Harris, this song along with Suede's "The Drowners" was championed as being the first ever Britpop song, and a starting point for the movement.
The song has been considered by many to be the beginning of the Britpop movement along with Blur's "Popscene".
