Now this is something that we need to survive the
cold, bitter, boring winter months, a 6 piece ska/punk
band by the name of Dropscience who play really
happy upbeat music. The band’s debut EP is
called 'There's An Awful Lot Of Weirdo's In Our
Neighbourhood' and I am pretty sure that everyone
can relate to that title as just in the small town
I live in there’s far too many weirdo’s
that I wouldn’t even be able to count them
on my hands and toes.
The Ep starts with 'Jack The Lad' and its full
of bouncy signature ska riffs, really raw vocals
and repetitive lyrics of "Jack The Lad, He’s
Jack The Lad", the lyrics are so raw sounding
in places which makes you think that front man
Phil Cain wouldn’t sound too far out of
place in Rancid if they ever needed a new vocalist.
'Cocaine Nation' is another bouncy, jump up and
down tune, with lyrics about how the majority
of the nation is snorting cocaine and how the
amount of users rises on a daily basis, now this
isn’t the best themed song, but the lyrics
are well written and you can’t help but
laugh your way through the song.
If any of the songs on Dropscience debut EP are
going to get your feet moving then 'Seratonin
Rollercoaster' is more than likely going to be
the song that’s going to get you moving
the most, the song is fast and catchy from start
to finish and crammed full of bouncy riffs.
The EP finishes with 'M-16', the song is the
shortest song on the EP running for just under
2minutes and its quite a fierce and hectic short
track which has enough power to leave you hanging
from your light bulb after you finish bouncing
off your walls whilst trying to knock off as much
energy as this six piece.
Dropscience have come around at the right time
and unleashed their say it as it is brand of ska/punk,
it’s fun, its upbeat, it will make you dance
your tits off and it might even leave you questioning
the themes of their songs.
These guys are great but I certainly wouldn’t
want to meet them down a dark ally, after all
maybe the EP is named after themselves.
4/5
