EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: The Drones - Your Acting's Like The End Of The World + The Minotaur

Over five albums and around a decade together, The Drones have reminded everyone that Austrailia's best rock bands aren't the ones making money off of out-of-the-box AC/DC riffs and oversized hair. The play dirty, winded garage-folk, downstroked chords crammed under the warbled yowl of singer Gareth Liddiard, who sounds like an alley-sleeping lush given a soapbox and a guitar. Their new record, Havilah, is out now through the record label arm of All Tomorrow's Parties, and below are two prime cuts from its belly. "Your Acting's Like The End Of The World" is our one-week exclusive, a unstrung acoustic album-closer that's a worthy but failed attempt to wrap everything up soberly. Also make sure to pick up "The Minotaur," which sounds like the Birthday Party if they'd stuck around long enough to record with Steve Albini. We're excited to finally get these guys up on the site, and conveniently they're playing all around North America, Europe, and Oz over the next few months. Full list of shows at their MySpace.
Sounds like: The Birthday Party, The Horrors, The Low Anthem
