“THE DROPTINES GRIND THEIR WAY OUT OF TEXAS AND INTO THE MAINSTREAM” – ROLLING STONE
NASHVILLE, TENN. / AUSTIN, TEXAS – Today Big Loud Texas band The Droptines deliver new song “Tombstone” adding to what Rolling Stone defines as “a wildly prolific catalog they are hell-bent on sharing at every concert.”
“’Tombstone’ is a fun runaway pop punk/Americana hybrid,” the band shares. “If you’re driving 55 when the song starts, you’ll be doing 90 halfway through.”
Living between the lines of Americana and rock and roll, or alt-Americana, the new song reflects the romantic dream of running away with a lover: I wanna see you in sunshine / leave this hole of a hometown behind. “Tombstone” was written by lead singer Conner Arthur and produced by Jon Randall and Jacob Sciba.
With each new release, the band’s acclaim continues to grow. Their first release out via Big Loud Texas, “Take Too Much,” Billboard characterized as “a primal fusion of country, Americana, blues and rock.” The recently released “Calling All Cars” is a “Song That Needs To Be On Your Radar” according to Whiskey Riff who concludes, “if you aren’t listening to The Droptines, you really need to change that.”
Each song released exemplifies the band’s alt-trajectory, a “beatnik-like itinerary of a lost soul’s activity” (Saving Country Music). With a forthcoming project on the horizon, the band is readying new music entrenched in a southern vernacular – ultimately writing and performing the type of songs they want to hear most.
Set to play Whiskey Myers’ Moon Crush “Whiskey Moon” festival today, the fiercely authentic band will continue to take their rollicking sound across the country in their repurposed silver school bus-turned-tour bus further cementing their beatnik-like lifestyle and ethos. The Droptines are set to headline throughout the rest of the year. For more information and full tour routing, please visit thedroptines.com.
