Although I haven't heard much from Australian band, The Drones, what I have heard so far has piqued my interest a bit. They are pretty heavy in the blues department, and have some pretty straight on guitar based rock elements as well (think Wilco).
Enough of what I have to say, see for yourself:
The Drones - Shark Fin Blues

I'll probably be writing about this band a bit more in the coming weeks since I'm seeing them live in Seattle at the Showbox where they will open for Band of Horses on November 20th. More on that later, though. Finally, if you're interested in this cool, 'Custom Made' limited edition 7" by The Drones (via ATP recordings), just send an email to climatechangeblog@gmail.com with 'Drones 7" in the subject line, and I'll choose a winner at random on Friday November, 16th at 5:00 PST-- dooo it.
From the record label:
"ATP Recordings is pleased to announce the release of a new series of double 7" vinyl called Custom Made. Custom Made invites artists to submit 4 songs which will be released on limited edition 7" and also made available as a digital download.
Bands will choose:
* Something old - an old song of the band
* Something new - a song from the latest album
* Something borrowed - a cover
* Something blue - open to interpretation, a blues song, the word blue in the title, anything.
Limited to just 1000 pieces, 100 of them will be special edition silk screened printed covers, numbered and signed by the sleeve designer."
Although I'm not sure if the 7" is one of those 100 special edition ones, it's still cool, so be sure and enter within the next week.
