11 August 2014

List All News - Back
Bursting out of Essex, The Dropper's Neck are back to spread their seed to the UK armed with their spanking new video single 'Line Me Up For The FiringSquad', which is out now.

Pulling from both Gallows and Queens Of The Stone Age, but with a warm affinity for Pulled Apart By Horses and Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, The Dropper's Neck blend engaging hooks and riffery with forebodingly chaotic energy and raw intensity; the end result is immensely absorbing.

Born in the Summer of 2011 and comprised of Lloyd Mathews (Lead Vocals), Jack Turner (Bass). Chris Blake (Lead Guitar), George Barrows (Rhythm Guitar), and Danny Keene (Drums), The Dropper's Neck's climb has been notable and impressive. The band have a strong DIY ethos and have built up a legion of followers by delivering a barrage of high octane shows throughout
the South and beyond.

The five-some's recording output is also noteworthy. The band's debut EP launched the rock crew out of the underground, and last
year's debut album 'Second Coming', recorded by producer Paul Tipler(Placebo, Idlewild & Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster), garnered extensive national praise from everyone from Classic Rock and Kerrang! through to Big Cheese Magazine.

The Dropper's Neck now stride forward with a UK tour and new video single entitled 'Line Me Up For The Firing Squad'. An absolute belter, the new single is just under three minutes long, has been produced by James Kenosha (Pulled Apart By Horses and Dinosaur Pile-Up) and it never lets up. The cut is a rampant flurry of ballsy garage punk that will twist and contort itself
