FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTRODUCING THE DROPTOPS!

The future of the Rockabilly Scene is in good hands if this latest Wild Hare records release is a good indicator. The Droptops are a three piece band from Rockville, Maryland. They have been performing the local club and car show scene for a few years and recently caught the ear and eye of Wild Hare owner, David Moore.

The word unique is widely over used, but is a good beginning term for this band. They truly sound like no other band out there today. Lead singer Johnny Bozarth, is remarkably similar to Jimmy Bowen in tone and accentuation. Johnny sings and plays upright bass, Elizabeth plays a big ole Gretsch guitar fusing styles of may of the greats (Carl Perkins, Cliff Gallop etc.) but is her own person and stylist. Christine anchors the trio with solid, yet tastefully played, sparse drum kit. All three are great composers.

The CD contains 10 self written songs and is packaged in a printed cardboard folder and retails for $5.00 each. This marketing plan is devised to make the CD affordable to club goers in the US. It is an exceptional value for 10 songs recorded and produced in an all analog, all vintage studio, with high quality graphics. In other words........... the usual high quality Wild Hare Look and Sound at a value price.

  • Great rockabilly
    author: Frederick Turgis - www.jumpingfrom6to6.com

    The Droptops are a rockabilly trio coming from Maryland. The members are John on vocals and upright bass, Elizabeth on guitar and Christine on drums. Yes, they are not just the "lovely girls on the cover", they can actually play. Their sound is obviously influenced by Sun records and John's voice shares some similarities with Jimmy Bowen. But don't misunderstand me, he ain't no copycat and has his own style, like Elizabeth on guitar. This album is made of 10 self penned songs (although titles like "Rock! Rock! Rock!" and "Lovesick Blues" sound familiar, they are written by the band and are not Johnny Powers and Hank Williams' songs), alternating slow and mid-tempo tunes. If the slow ones are good, I find them more at ease with the fastest numbers like "Where There's Smoke". The whole cd is very coherent and the production (as on every Wild Hare productions) is very well done. If your ideal of rockabilly is Carl Perkins, Johnny Powers or today's bands like The Flea Bops or The Raging Teens, this one will please you from start to finish.

  • Nothing flashy....
