"The Noise, Boston"

Review of "Cookies" from The Noise Magazine, February 2003

"This is the first local band that I've ever heard that does reggae without trying to sound like: 1. Tosh or Marley. 2. The Bosstones (yeah I Know they're ska - that never stopped anyone). 3. The Police. 4. The English Beat. 5. Some stoner jam band at a Gamelan night at The Middle East. Then there's their rock side, which has its "jam" elements to it, but without the wank. Their jazzy side has all the Steely Dan sophistication, without the chardonnay. On the Drop manages the almost impossible feat of combining reggae, funk, and rock without sounding like anybody. All four songs on this disc are fun, energetic, and as catchy as the flu bug that kept me in bed for most of last month! On The Drop aren't waiting for the next big thing. They are. If you're as tired as I am of the "same old," give this disc a spin!

Reviewer: mr froggy
This band should be huge. If there is any justice, they will be soon enough. Every single song on this album is good. This band totally has their sh!t together, all four of them are great musicians (especially the bassist).. highly, highly recommended

Bio

"On The Drop aren't waiting for the next big thing. They are." says Joel Simches, the Noise Magazine.

On The Drop is a Boston based band formed in early 2000. The quartet is rapidly gaining recognition for their unique style of Reggae infused Rock and their explosive live shows. On The Drop's 2007 release, Lullabies & Dynamite takes their Rock Reggae style to a higher level. Start to finish, you'll be hooked. The tight grooves and driving rhythms of the drums, bass & guitar are the perfect compliment to the earnest and poetic vocals. The record combines the clarity and production of a studio recording with the edge and energy of a live performance. It will rock your socks off!
