As if anyone ever thought Wolfmother were some kind of
Australasian musical anomaly, The Drones are here to show they are part of a long lineage of prime rib rockers who date back to the heady days of Bon Scott. Follow in their fuzzy, retro rock footsteps with a dose of party-like-it’s 1969, Crazy Horse-apeing, feel good rock. They have the chops and an earthy sound that drives with the same old school ferocity, but with less hair. Check out the album Gala Mill.
