This Australian band has that late 1980s pre-Nirvana "alternative" raspy rock essence. The vocals were killing me at first and then a few minutes later were acceptable. Think the Hold Steady vocalist like, really really painfully wasted. Brace yourself. Lucky for the Drones, they got some hot gigs of which we can all be jealous. And i mean MAD jealous. Digital release The Minotaur + A Brief Retrospective will be from ATP Recordings on September 2, 2008. A proper fourth album will be in early 2009. Very futuristic.
