Having been described as ground breaking new rock from Seattle, DROP SIX has received enormous response from the moment they arrived on the scene in the spring of 2001. The release of their self-produced CD entitled "last one to drown..." created quite a buzz among prominent figures in the music industry and quickly gained the band label interest. DROP SIX is the premier hard rock band in the Pacific Northwest. Possessing originality and a powerful, three-dimensional sound along with a powerful stage presence, DROP SIX projects extraordinary amounts of energy through both performance as well as the music itself. These six musicians, each bringing strong individual influence and skill to the table, inspire each other to stretch their musical capabilities out to form a solid unit that creates hard-hitting dynamics which stress the music's uninhibited extremes, making them a truly versatile yet uncompromising force on the heavy music front. With their explosive live show, they receive unbelievable crowd response at every show they play and the exchange between the stage and the audience is so intense, it keeps both the band and the fans wanting more. As their popularity continues to spread like wildfire, the DROP SIX following continues to grow. After two of Seattle's most popular local bands in the scene's recent history disbanded, there was a void left in the area's club circuit. Members from the two defunct bands, Local 808 and BuKu FuNGi, saw the potential to reach levels of musical creativity and intuition beyond any they had experienced in a band before. That potential became what is now DROP SIX. The fact that DROP SIX is continually sought after by promoters, rock clubs and local radio stations on account of their incredible live show and impressive drawing power, proves that they are one of the hardest working independent bands around. The list of labels who have requested promotional materials from the band includes Universal, Geffen, Interscope, Epic, Roadrunner, Eclipse and Hollywood Records among others. Andrew Goodfriend of The Agency Group also expressed interest in the band after hearing so much about them from Mudvayne's singer Chad Gray, who was introduced to DROP SIX in December of 2002 when they opened for Mudvayne at their sold out Moore Theater show in Seattle. Since then, both crowd size and record sales have continued to rise for DROP SIX as they have also shared the stage with such acts as Fear Factory, Drowning Pool, Static X, Crossfade, Melvins, Twiztid, Powerman 5000, Strata, Ill Nino, Trust Company, Professional Murder Music, Mix Mob, Crooked, Hell's Belles and even Ron Jeremy to name a few. Their fan base grows substantially each time the band is placed in front of a new crowd and this has helped earn them the privilege of being one of the few unsigned Northwest area bands that Thrasher Presents often calls on to fill concert bills featuring well-known national acts as their tours head through Western Washington. Singers Chad and Nate (who happen to be blood related brothers) take full advantage of their dual lead vocal style by incorporating plenty of layering and harmonizing into their song writing, just one element that sets DROP SIX apart from other rock bands currently achieving commercial success. While the music is radio friendly and comparable to that of bands like Deftones and Incubus, DROP SIX has a sound all their own and it is definitely refreshing. Embracing a less traditional approach to having two guitar players in a band, Danny and Mischa offer unique textures as they throw down solid, heavy guitar riffs and then intertwine melodies throughout the music with style and skill, creating cool contrast and a huge and spacious sound accented with tasteful nuances and subtleties. Not to mention that the fact that one guitarist is male and the other is female makes for a pretty cool contrast as well. All of this on top of a thick and heavy foundation nailed down by drummer Jeremy's flavorful percussive work and Jacy's pronounced, low thundering bass tone. Their debut album "last one to drown..." was recorded with Geoff Ott at London Bridge and has sold nearly every copy pressed within a very short amount of time. The demand for more is high as they currently write new material with plans to release another album. To help pacify their fans, they have also independently recorded and released an EP featuring the songs "It's Volatile" and "Invincible" which have received quite a bit of airplay on 99.9FM KISW, the Rock of Seattle. DROP SIX is also currently receiving airplay from several radio stations across the nation as well as cable/satellite music services. The Music Choice Satellite Rock Station has had the band listed twice now in its weekly top ten. Their fan base continues to grow as their online merchandise sales, show attendance and radio airplay clearly show that DROP SIX is indeed doing something right, and doing it all independently.
