‘The Drones are not just currently the best rock band in Australia, but the best rock band on the planet today’. (TimeOff, January 2009)
The Drones / Artist biography
Gareth Liddiard is the bands lead vocalist and primary songwriter for the band. Havilah, like everything The Drones have done, is an album of contradictions, where bombast meets beauty, melancholy wrestles with violent guitars and singer Liddiard's incendiary voice lights up his angular poetry, this time on the nature of, in no particular order, the moon (Penumbra), divorce (The Drifting Housewife), the acquisition of godlike power and the cult of John Frum (I Am the Supercargo) and the modern day Mintoaur, a lazy generation of the technology obsessed (The Minotaur).
