The Drownout is an American electropunk band from Atlanta, Georgia that was founded in 2005 by guitarist/vocalist Jason Jones. A part of the newest wave of New Wave-inspired bands, the group distinguishes itself within that genre by combining an unapologetic musicality with a high-energy performance that one would typically only expect from a hardcore punk band. Their musical style has drawn critical comparisons to Interpol, Muse and The Killers.
