About The Drop
- The Drop are a 9-piece roots-rock-reggae outfit based in and around London.They are part of the small but significant front-line of British new-wave reggae bands, pushing with a sincere awareness for the British reggae revival.They effortlessly walk the syncopated path laid by generations before. The arrangements are meticulous, leaving plenty of air for the booming dub bass to vibrate, never suffocating the thoughtful lyrics of vocalist Dandelion.The band has quickly built a reputation for infectious melodies and an authentic heavy roots sound laced with a refreshingly eclectic originality. Dandelion, the most recent addition to the band, is already an established reggae artist in his own right. His solo projects have seen him sing on several successful Dubstep releases, most notably CCTV on the Hyperdub label which was supported by the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs and Giles Peterson on Radio 1.The band have already stormed the UK festival circuit with over 20 festival appearances over the last 2 years including;They have shared the stage with acts such as Toots and the Maytals, Dreadzone, Babyhead, Rodney P, DJ Derek and Blackslate. Their material and enthusiasm has taken them this far in such a short time. Green Man, Electric Picnic, Secret Garden Party, Boomtown Fair and Beach Break Live to name a few.

WINNER OF THE TAKEOVER BOOMTOWN COMP. is GEORGIA YEXLEY for... 'I'd like to take over peoples feet, so everytime a serious tune came on i could get everyone dancing on the streets. i reckon that would solve all problem really x' We like the image and the sentiment. RUNNER UP is EL BLANCO DREAD for... 'I'd like to take over the brainwashed minds of all those people who think its fair to wage war on people because they live in a different culture or those who hate people because of their different skin colour or religion. I would like to take over the minds of those who feel the need to be a patriot rather than a free willed critical thinker and hand out messages of love and brotherhood to every nation....true.' Says it all really. We'll sort you free entry to gigs whenever you want till the end of the year El Blanco...big ups. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK PART...MUCH LOVE.x

Hey there peeps, to help promote our forthcoming single 'Takeover' (out Mon 13th June) we're asking the question: WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKEOVER AND WHY? The person that gives the best answer will get free entry to Boomtown fair. Feel free to say whatever you want, be it serious or taking the piss, we're not fussy. You can write your answers on our facebook.com/thedropmusic page, on our twitter @thedropreggae, or you can e-mail us at dropthemusic@gmail.com. The competition will run until Mon 20th June and we'll get in touch with the winner after that date. If you don't know about Boomtown here's the Lineup. We were there last year and it was SICK!!
