A history of indie rock icons: Drip Joy

Hailing from the small clubs of Oakland, Ca, Drip Joy broke into the indie rock scene in 2005 with their debut album, Talk to my Ventriloquist. The band’s latest album, Drip Joy, melds Sandice Alaska’s wounded hooks with shoe-gazing Grunge-Rock to generate another collection of retro-inspired gems. With standout tracks like "Not Enough," already certified platinum in Europe, Drip Joy can count ..s of future success.
