Currently touring with Grinspoon, The Snowdroppers are a quality Sydney Anachro-punk band. That is Anachro, not anarcho, there's been a slew of bands in recent years who take their stylistic queues from the 20's, Victorian era, etc. Really I don't have any other description for their music as rockabilly/punk hybrid, with a heavy influence from Tom Waits style blues.
I first discovered the band reading a review for a Grinspoon gig (hoping they are finally playing black friday/just ace again) and decided to check them out. Now with a copy of Too Late to Pray in my hot little hands all I can say is WOW. There are some killer tracks on this album, and it flows quite nicely. Unfortunately their current tour won't be coming through Brisbane from what I see, but I will be sure to keep an eye out for future releases and tours from these guys.
Below the jump is the video for Rosemary, not the best from their album, but a great video.
