ACID DROP

ACID DROP is what would happen if you get US east coast punk and west coast fatwreck punk and mix them both in a blender, sing songs about sk8ing, drinking and things that peave us off. Blasting through from 100mph breakneck speed to the odd foot tapping slow tune.
ACID DROP contains ex members of THE BLUE CASKET, THE DEAD PETS and THE MIGHTY BOOZE. FAST, FAST, FASTER.
