Drop Test formed in late 2000. Our first show as a band was 4/24/01 at the French Quarter in Oshkosh, WI. We play original rock music in the vein of Living Colour, Tool, Incubus, Deftones, & Weezer. We bring a love of all different types of music and individual talents expand our song structures beyond power chord arena rock. Our lyrics are introspective and heartfelt and shy away from the usual rock and roll cliches found in much of today's music.
Our band is Nigel on lead vocals, Joe Kirkland on Lead/Rhythm Guitar, John Neuenfeldt on Bass Guitar and Ryan Garrison on drums. We do both electric and acoustic sets at most shows and Joe and John switch guitar and bass duties as needed.
2003 will be an important year for Drop Test. We just recorded, mastered, and released a professional demo CD entitled '5 Songs Long (E.P.)'. It showcases several songs from our upcoming debut album 'Playing in the Hills of Omega' which will be released in mid/late 2003.
Drop Test will be extensively touring throughout Wisconsin and beyond in 2003. Come check us out! You can contact us at droptest@hotmail.com to obtain upcoming show information or to obtain a copy of our demo CD.
