With echo-ey riffs and an eclectic feel, The Dropa Stone's self titled six song E.P. distances itself from the cookie cutter clones of modern rock. Maintaing just enough of a hard edge, they fuse a variety of musical styles, avoiding a specific genre. In fact, this is one of those bands that is difficult to place in one particular category. This isn't to say that fans of Alternative/Indie/Emo wouldn't like this record, they would. But The Dropa Stone writes and performs in such a way that damns the cliches. The songs here are instrumentally and vocally first rate, bringing a fresh new sound to a stale rock environment. The production, mix and mastering, done by Justin Thomas of Gridlock Studios, is ahead of the class.
Definitely deserving of your ears!
