For fans of Foals, The Presets and Midnight Oil. 

Since their debut at Yours & Owls festival in late 2018 performing alongside Hockey Dad, Peking Duk and The Jungle Giants, Sydney-via-Wollongong quintet DROVES have released 4x singles and had three tours on Australia's east coast, carving a name for themselves as one of Sydney's most exciting new acts.

DROVES is Phil (lead vox, synth), Taylor (lead vox, rhythm guitar), Tiernan (lead guitar, backing vox), Kyneisha (bass) and Jonathan (drums). With their arena-sized ambition, hook based dance-punk anthems and energetic live performances, the group have caught the attention of triple j, RAGE, NME, The Music, Spotify’s editorial team and Pilerats, who called the band their “favourite new act to come out of 2019”.

Off the back of recent singles 'Retribution', and ‘Cannibals’, DROVES are in the process of finalising their debut EP. With Fletcher Matthews (Clews, Dear Seattle, Sweater Curse) on production duties, the EP will see DROVES evolve with a new sound, blending punk anthems and dance beats without neglecting their knack for writing powerful, synth-wave hits that have drawn comparisons to the likes of Midnight Oil and Foals.
