Tom Watson calls them 'awesome', but who are Drenge?
The MP, who has frequently tweeted about his musical preferences, describes them as an "awesome" group.
The brothers are said to be obsessed with Denmark and their band name means "boys" in Danish.
They chose it because "it sounded really ugly and vicious, and a good way to describe these riffs we'd been kicking about."
While they are yet to cause a stir far beyond the music press, they could be heading for great things, notwithstanding Mr Watson's endorsement.
They played a Saturday lunchtime slot at Glastonbury last weekend and were advertised on the billing as a "widely tipped" act "whose ramshackle videos and in your face guitar and drums attack has been compared to the Black Keys and White Stripes."
Whether Mr Miliband decides to follow Mr Watson's advice and initiate himself in the world of Drenge remains to be seen.
