About The Band...
Stiv and Ste started jamming and working on songs with a NoFX/Bad Religion slant in early 2007. We decided to get our bums in gear and after a few false starts Acid Drop was finally formed in September of the same year. Ben and Pete brought in different styles of punk - e.g. Street Dogs, Dropkick Murphys.
Since Acid Drop’s first gig @ the legendary 1 in 12 Club, Bradford (supporting The Inner Terrestrials) in early 2008 Acid Drop have clawed away non-stop at the local punk scene. The year was rounded off by the recording of the Hazard E.P. @ The Sheffield Steelworks with Stash (Dead Pets) guesting on trumpet.
Blasting into 2009 with the release of the Hazard E.P Acid Drop have gone onwards and upwards playing with bands such as Citizen Fish, Middle Finger Salute, Stuntface, Sham 69, Rat City Riot, Rentokil, Lawnmower Deth, The Voodoo Glow Skulls and Sonic Boom Six...........
The highlight of the year was on Saturday 13th June 2009 when Acid Drop opened the Tuborg Stage at The Download Festival (ex monsters of rock) @ Donington Park.

Reviews...
"Acid Drop's infectious blend of punk, hardcore and folk won the biggest cheer of the night. Watch out for these lads, 2009 could well be their year." - Yorkshire Evening Post
"This is top notch punk rock with a ska/punk influence... These local heroes are really gonna float your boat if you like bands such as Skank Agenda, Rancid, Clash and just great, well played, well thought-out songs!!!!!" - Jumbo Records
"A very talented hardcore act ACID DROP play really quality well screamed, well sung punk music, simple but instantly catchy song structures leading to gang sing-along choruses delivered with passion and well guided aggression" Hyde Park Heat.
"There's something refreshingly honest about this little EP. Leeds punks Acid Drop play beer-swilled punk rock in the style of late 90s EpiFat bands, with a slight folk-tinge to it. It's about as fashionable as a bright yellow shellsuit, but it sounds fun, energetic and has plenty of singalongs too." 3.5/5 - Punktastic.com
"In the same style as NOFX, Acid Drop are ready to admit they’re shit and a waste of time when they’re clearly not at all. They’re very tight as a band and fun to watch with their skate-punk style. They also have some good banter with the crowd, and their tribute to their deceased friends is an honourable and well-crafted song." - Pushtofire.com.
