Dropnose

Iz, Heysi and Sellick formed Dropnose in the summer of '97, initially based in the sunny city of Sunderland. Taking influences from the likes of Satanic Surfers, Ten Foot Pole etc. they managed to take the energy of the typical "skate punk" sound and fuse it with something a little darker (both musically and lyrically) to create something all their own.

In 1998 they recorded for the first time, the result being the Creamy and Uncommonly Good 3-song CD which was released by the newly established DELIVERENCE RECORDS. the band soon relocated to Leeds and tours with Goober Patrol and Astream followed, the latter leading up to the BAD TASTE RECORDS Festival that October in Lund, Sweden where they played with the likes of Intensity, Last Days of April and The Weakerthans.

The split CD with Astream on BAD TASTE RECORDS was released in 1999, complimented by both bands embarking on a full tour of the UK and Ireland.

In the spring of 2000 the band recorded 6 tracks for a self-titled release on BOMBED OUT RECORDS, unfortunately they parted ways just before it was due for release. After sitting on the back-burner it eventually saw the light of day in April 2000, exactly one year after it was recorded.

For a while Iz played guitar and sang for The Autumn Year and Heysi continues to play in The Sex Maniacs, while they both now make up two thirds of The Mercy Suite (with ex-Astream gutairist Bobby). Sel now plays guitar in Drag Cars Drive Too Fast.
