"The Drones are more than salvation for the waiting faithful, they're taking the form forward."
ROLLING STONE
"Some bands just don't understand rock'n'roll. They ape it, destroy it, piss on its grave with their Butlin's impersonations of Franz Ferdinand. But others, oh yes, like The Drones, are raised in Australia from the rock'n'roll zombie-dead with the soulful religion of Neil Young, Roky Erickson and The Birthday Party embossed in a creepy-yet-soothing and, well, different sort of tension. And on their second album, 'Wait Long By The River And The Bodies Of Your Enemies Will Float By' , they raise it to a ceremony of electric blues, as lead singer, Gareth Liddiard howls junkie-gospel blooze jive until 'Shark Fin Blues' and 'You Really Don't Care' become big dirty hits of Iggy Pop electric destruction..."
8/10 PAUL BROWNELL - NME
"The Drones, are seemingly raised from the dead, zombies from Australia, with their rock'n'roll set to stun and then EXPLODE. The Drones rock. You need this."
ALBUM OF THE WEEK - POPTONES (UK)
"comes running at the wall with an overwhelming ravaged tenderness in the heart of the shambolic, raging maelstrom"
4/5 STARS - ALL MUSIC GUIDE (USA)
"pick of the week is this raw, pining monster from Australia, lost in the spine tingling garage haze of Bevis Frond's psychedelia, Iggy Pop's tour de force and Nick Cave's dark and dangerous blues"
POSITIVELY YYY (USA)
"There's so much menace, desperation and rage in these 9 tracks to cover the whole of the Australian outback with a thick blanket of dirty guitar riffs. The first track is so good I must have listened to it like 15 times."
9.5/10 - VICE MAGAZINE (UK)
