Description
"Some bands just don't understand rock'n'roll. They ape it, destroy it, piss on its grave with their Butlin's impersonations of Franz Ferdinand. But others, oh yes, like The Drones, are raised in Australia from the rock'n'roll zombie-dead with the soulful religion of Neil Young, Roky Erickson and The Birthday Party embossed in a creepy-yet-soothing and, well, different sort of tension. And on their second album, 'Wait Long By The River And The Bodies Of Your Enemies Will Float By' , they raise it to a ceremony of electric blues, as lead singer, Gareth Liddiard howls junkie-gospel blooze jive until 'Shark Fin Blues' and 'You Really Don't Care' become big dirty hits of Iggy Pop electric destruction."- myspace.com
