Tapping into the Alt-Rawk fuzz of the ’90’s, Boston’s dropbear exude an enchanting kind of aura on debut single, “Bystander”, which is similarly endearing to fans of that era of music while also standing tall as an enduring track all its’ own serving as the perfect introduction to the quintet ahead of their first EP arriving in July.

This is a pretty big deal for us. Not only do we have the first review of the debut full-length from Boston’s BALUCHITHERIUM but we ALSO are honored to host an exclusive stream of said album before it releases on November 1st.
