Album Review: The Drones - Feelin Kinda Free

Who did The Drones make Feelin Kinda Free for? It's dark, threatening, challenging and not interested in pandering to anyone.

It's also a kind of visceral, angry, unapologetic rock 'n' roll that the world needs more of. The grit and growl goes beyond frontman Gareth Liddiard's voice; it permeates every note and beat of Feelin Kinda Free. In a way, it sounds like The Drones are trying to scare away most listeners. Almost as if liking this record means you've passed some sort of test or initiation. And it's that attitude that makes Feelin Kinda Free so satisfying.
