About Me


PRESS ::
"An infallible release from one of the area's most promising new acts, Drop the Fear is brilliant. From the stellar artwork to the swirling interplay of Sarah Marcogliese's Harriet Wheeler-esque vocals and Ryan Policky's impassioned drones transcending the frigid austerity created by ambient squalls, fractured tones and mechanized beats, this is easily the best album of the year."
DAVE HERRERA - WESTWORD
"By listening to just a few seconds of Drop The Fear’s debut release, that free falling feeling lets you know they’ve accomplished what they’ve set out to do: disregarding the expected structures and boundaries of songwriting while taking you on a unified journey through sonic explorations. Each song seamlessly floats from one to another, whirling your senses and allowing you to let go and get lost in the many synthesized layers, organic galaxies, and solar powered vocals."
KIM OWENS - KAFFEINE BUZZ

Drop the fear fuses the sounds of electronic rock with the lushness of shoegazer, and an atmosphere much like something out of a Tim Burton flick.
