The Drones

River Of Tears

by The Drones
The Drones

Biography:


The Drones es un grupo austrailano de rock que alcanzó la popularidad (relativa) a principios de la década '00. Sus mayores influencias son Bob Dylan, Neil Young, The Velvet Underground, Van Morrison, Suicide y Bad Brains entre otros.


El sonido del grupo australiano no cuadra en ningún estilo actual dentro de la música rock. Parte de su trabajo se debe a estructuras simples y convencionales, la otra parte de su sonido se basa en las estructuras blues que Tom Waits popularizó en los círculos comerciales.
