Austin-based band The Droptines live wildly between the lines of Americana and rock and roll – what they dub alternative Americana. Newly signed to Big Loud Texas, the band make their label introduction with the release of “Take Too Much.” The tune is driven by a vocal growl reminiscent of The Droptines most pointed influences like rock heroes Springsteen and Tom Petty. Working with lauded producer and Big Loud Texas co-founder and president of A&R Jon Randall, the gritty band is prepping new music entrenched in a southern vernacular – writing and performing the songs they want to hear most. Defined by a “beatnik-like itinerary of a lost soul’s activity” (Saving Country Music), The Droptines are currently on the road with Whiskey Myers ahead of billings at Lollapalooza, slots opening for Dwight Yoakam and a headlining run hitting iconic venues throughout the U.S. like West Hollywood’s Troubadour.
